The Wachowski's unsuccessfully asked to have their names taken off the film's script which brings their tally to one excellent film, one really good film, this mediocre action blitz, the love it or hate it V for Vendetta, two equally terrible Matrix sequels, a tv color test called Speed Racer, and a movie with twice as many Tom Hanks' in it then there were Meg Ryans in that one Tom Hanks movie.
Nice action movie with 3 great actors. Banderas and Stallone were both good as hitman. Especially the first hour was full of action and was excellent for me.
Another in the series of more ambitious films Stallone turned to in the mid-90s, this features another of his less cocky, more morose portraits of middle-aged malaise; unfortunately Banderas (and Donner) seem to think it should be a flamboyant actioner, despite the story and screenplay not really supporting this. This means Stallone's performance, while accomplished, becomes an anchor on the film rather than an asset. Some relatively engaging action scenes quicken the pulse intermittently.
I've seen worse silly action movies. Stallone and Banderas actually work well together. But far from good.
Could have been better, but I've seen a lot worse. Liked the concept and they really made a good actionmovie. Nothing more, nothing less.
