A great action picture, with one of the top 5 car chases of all time, an excellent cast, and a Mamet-approved script. I liked everything about it. A complex story. Incredibly intelligent characters. Lots of subtext. No insulting my intelligence. When Robert DeNiro basically operates on himself and then excuses himself while he finally passes out, I giggled like a school girl. And yet, it's also very affecting. Definitely underrated.
Severely underrated. A very intelligent and competent action film. Deniro and Reno form a great partnership, and you feel the mutual respect between America and France through their relationship. It's almost moving.
I'm incredibly surprised that I've not seen (or even really heard of) this movie before !
A very good thriller in all respects.
(Except, of course, for the accents ! Both the Irish accents were okay. But DeNiro thinking people would actually believe he was French ? Laughable.)
Annoyingly and unnecessarily convoluted. DeNiro and Reno especially are great, that's about the only positive.
And some people calling it a thriller? There wasn't a single tense or surprising moment in this movie.
