Perhaps the ultimate Judgment comes from Estevez, who observes: 'Nothing about tonight makes sense.'

It's refreshing to know that it's not just characters in horror films who are irredeemably dumb.

Excellent soundtrack, appalling acting, especially by Gooding.

Fallon's obsessive quest to eliminate witnesses comes to seem more and more like utter madness -- but then, maybe that's the point. It's hard to tell amidst the layered gunfire and random explosions.

The filmmakers have made a big deal of a soundtrack that features 10 collaborations between rappers and rockers (the theme is performed by De La Soul and Teenage Fan Club), but their casting consciousness is less adventurous.

This is an exceedingly well directed, cleverly filmed and edited, tension-filled affair. It is also a wholly preposterous, muddled, paranoid view of the inner-city nightmare where the slightest misstep is sure to have a fateful result.

A classy, edge of your seat thriller. Fun all round!

A tight, energetic sleeper in the action-adventure genre, manages to pack a few anti-machismo sentiments into an otherwise brawny tale.
