    I am truly thrilled to have this movie in my collection again! It is a genuine delight. John Travolta, Hugh Jackman and Halle Barry are at their best. The movie is a tightly-woven thrill ride with a few wild curves. I love, especially, the moral ambiguity, which allows the watcher to determine who is the protagonist, the antagonist, and the victims. Director Dominic Sena keeps the pace lively but not too quick, allowing the characters to develop organically before the next action set piece. Travolta chews up every scene he's in; he owns this movie and his casting makes it work. Jackson, Barry and even Don Cheadle, do remarkable work and push along the story to its very exciting final twist.
    Anyone who hates or pans this movie is, in my opinion, probably expecting the expected. This movie is not that. Sena has thrown out all the rules to create an incredible film that, even 18 years after its release, is still very interesting and relevant.
    The Blu-ray edition is contains a few extras that only add to the experience of a movie you'll want to watch over and over again.
