Such a hard movie to review!
On the one hand it is the best Jackie Chan film done so far!
The story held my interest throughout the movie!
It is the best performance by Pierce Brosnan, poor as his skills are.
It is easy to see this story happening!
On the other hand .....
Damage sustained by the characters would require major recovery time in reality!
Brosnon has had a long career - plenty of time to pass an acting class - PLEASE!
Unnecessary nudity.
Unnecessary adult situation!
Plot-wise it is a simple story of revenge.
The modern politics of diverting justice for feel good-ism.
Politicians trapped by peace accords, news reporters and and an angry public.
Playing both sides against the middle - and getting burned.
So, even though I do not appreciate great films stuffing nude females in to get a rating, even if "nothing" is shown, it is still a good film.
I was not alone in not appreciating the one adult situation, such a groan from the packed crowd!
Yet it is a good adult film.
I was surprised that the 20-somethings got the film.
It deals with the IRA and its retirement.
But, action/adventure is always popular!
Best film for Chan, and Brosnon.
