  Something amiss...
  
  That is a lot of action... a bit too much for my liking. However, special effects are done pretty well. Didn't like ending at all.

  Dull, dull, dull!!
  
  Shockingly bad considering the actors!!! Really dull plot although it does pick up towards the end. Bordering on the ridiculous stunts and ideas. AVOID!!!

  Not bad..
  
  Not sure what I make of this. Part of it is brilliant but parts aren't so good. Graphics and fight scenes are pretty good!

  Terrible, don't bother
  
  Terrible, I only managed an excrutiating 10 minutes (and that was being generous, hoping it would improve) before I gave up.

  dumb
  
  OK - cool special effects, but really, the plot is SHEER LUNACY. I like my action films to have at least SOME intelligence. This unravels - like the loom!??!
