The fact that it stars Lucy Liu as a kick-ass assassin who, in one early sequence, escapes a squad of some 50 or so heavily-armed attackers with nothing but a couple of fight batons and the weapons that they’ve managed to drop along the way earns it a B+. Sure, the third act is just a bunch of loud explosions, but Antonio Banderas is all scruffy and cute, and Gregg Henry plays a great smarmy bad guy, as usual. The criticism of Liu's acting is also way off base: she's playing an emotionless killer -- so guess what, there's not a lot to play. And actually, there are a couple of nice beats where she does reveal some vulnerability. But obviously, Kaos is not exactly an actor's director, and the script does her no favors. It's just your basic over-the-top shoot-'em-up thriller. Enjoy the nicely choreographed fight sequences and car chases, along with the always lovely Lucy Liu in bad-ass mode and call it a day.… Expand

I rate this movie 10/10! Recently, my great grandfather was dying in the hospital and once i showed him this movie, he wasn't going to die and was really happy to be still alive. Without this movie, my great grandfather would be gone.

An outstanding display of continuous badassery, it's action sequences give it the 10 points on their own.

It's a sleek action thriller with little CGI, great stunts, chases, martial arts and gun fights! The photography is sleek and the Soundtrack slays too. The cast overall is great and looks great on camera. Lucy Liu and her stunt double are impressive. Yes it's goofy, over the top and silly but so are the super hero movies that are so praised and successful while being CGI messy turds.… Expand
