It's one of those movies that has the right ingredients(great cast and decent story) but everything else goes horribly wrong.

John Woo could have made this film in his sleep and the final product would have been better. --- In scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com, Martin Baxter <truthseeker...@...> wrote: > > > Oh, and Keith -- you spared yourself much pain by missing "Ballistic: Ecks vs > Sever".
