It’s wasn’t a good movie, but it was an enjoyable one. It really got me tense, even though I rolled my eyes at so many of the plot devices. Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock are so goofy, but I thought they did well in their roles.

Worth watching once, but I probably won’t watch it again.

This has got to be one of my fave action movies ever (not quite up there with T2, but rated very highly). It’s eminently quotable, has great structure, and everyone involved gives a decent performance – including, nearly, Keanu. It also marks the pop cultural moment when the expletive “fuck!” gained the parallel variant “fuck me!” Obviously, one or two people in the audience quietly responded “with pleasure” to the wording of Keanu’s bomb-related alarm.
