THIS IS DEFINITELY ONE OF MY FAVOURITE MOVIES, AT FIRST I WATCHED AS MICHAEL WAS IN IT, BUT NOT I ENJOY IT ALL. MICHAEL'S ROLE AS BLY IS SUPER, THE CHARACTER IS WELL CONCEIVED AND MICHAEL DOES A GREAT JOB AT PLAYING HIM. AT FIRST I WAS AFRAID BLY HAD MET HIS FATE QUITE EARLY IN THE MOVIE, BUT HIS RE-APPEARANCE TOWARDS THE CLIMAX OF THE FILM IS EXCELLENT AND WORTH THE WAIT. THE GUNFIGHT IS TERRIFIC, AND MICHAEL LOOKS CHILLINGLY EVIL IN THE CORRIDORS OF THE U.N BUILDING. MICHAEL DOES A GREAT JOB AT TURNING THE AT FIRST JOKING CHARACTER TO AN EVIL BAD GUY AND I LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF THIE MOVIE.
THE CAST IS GREAT, WITH WESLEY SNIPES ON TOP FORM AND GREAT SUPPORTING PERFORMANCES, PARTICULARLY FROM ANNE ARCHER, MAURY CHAYKIN, MARIE MATIKO AND DONALD SUTHERLAND. THE ACTION SEQUENCES ARE SUPER, THE STORYLINE GOOD, THE SPECIAL EFFECTS STUNNING, THE MUSIC IS GREAT. THE MOVIE IS SUPER, AND IT IS A SHAME THAT ITS RELEASE IN THE CINEMAS IN THE UK WAS SHORT, RELEASING THIS KIND OF MOVIE DURING CHRISTMAS DID NOT DO IT JUSTICE.
