    Enough plot-holes to drive a truck through, and that's just about the only thing that *doesn't* happen in this movie. A good action flick, however, suitable for a Saturday night with popcorn. Uma Thurman does a bang-on impression of Shelly Duvall at her most annoying, and Ben Affleck looks great in a suit!

    The twist is nice. This is one of Ben's more believable performances. With all apologies, Uma isn't aging well, but she is still beautiful Standard bad guys, traditional slap-stick cops, but still some fun.

    Started out interested. Halfway started getting bored. By the end, I knew the predictable finish. If the writer(s) had continued to use their imagination, this could have been a classic. As it is, there are no surprises or characters worth caring about.
