Enjoyable and stylish. Unfortunately it's pretty much more of the same action fare we've seen hundreds of times before. Most major plot points were fairly predicable and the 'twist' near the end you can see coming a mile away.
The car chase at the beginning showed promise by offering a slightly new perspective but the sequence didn't last too long.
The most engaging part of the movie was the relationship between Kate and Ani and was enough to fuel interest and keep emotionally attached to the story.
I understand it's primarily an action flick, but I would have enjoyed just a little more depth and to have the thematic emblems dealt with more fully, but overall still an engaging film despite it's lack of originality. That said the action sequences were well done and I thought the cinematography was above par. And there were a few little nice idiosyncratic touches that enhanced the film, especially if you understand a little about Asian culture.
Go into the film without expectations of finding anything new or fresh and I think you'll thoroughly enjoy the film. I guess it does exactly what it says on the tin.
