Ok. If I could give this movie an F+, I would.

It started out a bit far-fetched. For example, the pieces of the puzzle didn't fit together. I mean, he stumbles around in the dark and HAPPENS to pick up glasses to put on? Come ON....

Then, the 'bad guys' realize what he's doing? COME ONNNNN....

They just don't fit together neatly enough and as a woman, I must say, I don't think Ben is cute. In fact. I didn't WANT to see this movie BECAUSE of Ben. I like Uma, but when I saw that Ben was in this, I cringed. THEN, to make matters worse, John Woo *shudder*.

His movies are like they are recycled. This movie would be good if I didn't think too deeply. But sadly, I do, therefore, I can't say anything really good about it.

It was nice though, to see Uma playing a more 'peaceful' and sweet character. However, how is it, that a computer nerd, with all that smarts, doesn't hack into something and get away scott free. Why is he doing these stupid jobs in the first place? And two, where did he learn to fight all of a sudden? Isn't Uma a biologist? What? All biologists know how to fight?

Come ONNNNN....
