Movie Reviews
While the second half
is forgettable action fun. A very uneven movie, which raises enormous
expectations in those first 40 minutes, but ultimately can't deliver.
We, the viewer, are still left with half of a marvelous movie. The main
actor is incredible. Not in the Pacino sense, but more in the
Schwarzenegger sense. He creates an iconic character, which is extremely
sympathetic and scary at the same time. The writing has some obvious
plotting issues, but all the way through you'll come across terrifically
written scenes. The direction and overall acting is top notch. But to
me, the greatest thing about the film ia its use of music. It has one of
the best soundtracks I've heard in a movie for a long time. Think Miami
Vice crossed with Brad Fiedel's work on the The Terminator. Really
effective stuff.
