From the start this film has the air of a black comedy whilst still being one of the best action flicks I have seen in a long time. In this respect I am genetically biased, as this film must surely have been aimed at the male side of the cinema going audience. You have action in the form of car chases and amazing camera work, violence with Vinnie Jones, and the cream topping in the form of Angelina Jolie playing a bit of rough. The plot is a bit thin but when the sound track is roaring and you feel like your sat on the bonnet of one of those fantastic cars (thanks to the camera work), you'll hardly notice. One word of advice would be to let your girlfriend drive home afterwards.
