Summary: Excellent
Review: i expected nothing more than an action movie. i was amazed to find that it was more thriller than action. the action is very fast paced and doesn't linger. the car chases are very well done and the different characters are intriging as is the way they interact together. i really wanted to know what was in the case, but i forgive them for not telling us. the take on the 47 ronin is well done as well. overall i really enjoyed it, a nice mix of story and action.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: rush hour!
Review: Anyone who has ever driven on the Paris 'peripherique' (beltway) will relate instantly to this tale of post-Cold War mercenaries. The chase sequences are second to none; Frankenheimer obviously recalling his 1966 film 'Grand Prix'. If you wondered where the field full of unsold Peugeot 605s went - well, most were destroyed in a memorable early chase along the Cote d'Azure!

De Niro is even better than he was in 'Heat', Reno is basically Leon again ( or the Drummer in 'Subway' if you can remember that far back....) and Pryce is a reasonably convincing though not very scary Irish freedom fighter. McElhone, though, is scary.....

The sub-plot with the ice skater is frankly clumsy and hard to follow but other than that small point, the acting and French scenery make the film very watchable.

Check your rear-view mirror and if a large German car is behind you, move over!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Action, Action, Action!
Review: If you like action movies, this one is for you. The story may be a little thin but it still is worth while. The stunts are absolutely great. Gotta like Jean Reno (The Professional).

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Loved it!
Review: Great action, great car chases, lots of emotions, all with an international flavor. The acting was great, and who can complain about DeNiro?

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not bad - I expect better from DeNiro though...
Review: The plot was ok but overall the movie was kind of dry. Not what I would expect from DeNiro.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: the old days (3.5 stars is more like it)
Review: I can't help feeling waves of nostalgia for this one. A few more cigarettes and a few less modern cars and we could have been in any 70's cold war thriller.

Once you get onto the old-time rollercoaster and accept the free ride it is exceptional in it's execution and has a real "feel".

Reno and De Niro give excellent value for money and it just kind of zips along, with some amazing car chases.

Before you know it, end of the ride and get out of the car with shaking hands. Pity about the lame ending but these things always look less attractive when the ride is over.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: not a lot of story line
Review: I think it's a nice movie if you like car chase and shooting. I personaly like a nice sorry as well.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Action Action Action
Review: So what if the plot is a bit thin! If you appreciate a good car chase, this is it! Right up alongside Bullitt and Gone in 60 Seconds. Put your brain in neutral and your excitement potential in overdrive and enjoy. Don't forget the popcorn and a liquid....

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Uninvolving but great action sequences annoying story
Review: People are chasing and shooting each other. Why exactly? Something to do with a box that the Irish and the Russions want. The story does not give you enough info to become invloved in the plot. However you can guess who lives and who dies. Why and for what, forget it, just enjoy the action.

Rating: 5 stars
