Screen It!

I've said it before, and I'll go on saying it unless he flips out and does an Edith Wharton adaptation: Nobody does action like James Cameron.

Though not as irksome and irritating as Schwarzenegger's Last Action Hero, this James Cameron actioner is a more of a big technical machine than a story (which is senseless); some of the effects are good but Jamie Lee Curtis is totally wasted.

Time Out

One of the best mega-budgeted summer blockbusters of the modern era. A deft blend of thrilling action and edgy comedy.

The comedic bits fall flat - but the action sequences are quite outlandish.

Could stand to have about 30 minutes excised -- but the final one-liner is classic.

Good action sequences marred by a mean-spirited, misanthropic tone.

Although it's Cameron's weakest feature, it's still pretty good.
