Review Time
Warning: there are colourful effects.
Storyline: it is good; the pacing is
something safe and reliable, like the storyline it knows what it is doing from
beginning to end and it sticks to that.
Action/Art/Comedy: here are two
examples of the action; we have boxing sparring between Major Deakins/Travolta
and Captain Hale/Slater; then later on we have this armoured helicopter shooting
at Captain Hale/Slater and Park Ranger Carmichael/Mathis with just a basic hand
revolver [one of those with a small hammer that you have to pull back with your
thumb and a rotating cylinder] at their disposal/her weapon but he uses it.
Art; here are
some elements for you to look out for; there are some beautiful skies, Dears
[just to cover my back I think they are Dears; but I could be wrong] and a
Butterfly or Butterflies moving on to the comedy there are small elements of
comedy in this project, so I will just pick one; in a nutshell and in a rough
description "Would you mind not shooting so close to the nuclear
weapons."
Characters/Performances: on all counts
including the on-screen chemistry they are all good; but it should be noted
without Travolta or Slater this film would have struggled.
This film receives: 7/10, this film is
good; without trying to repeat myself here too much; this film just knows what
it is; which is a good action/crime film, I mean this is one of those films
that if you get a take-away out and put this film on it will entertain you
without too much thinking or if you haven't seen this film yet take a look at
it.
