Anyone see it?

I just watched it and It was a pretty good movie. It turns out differently then you would expect from the previews.

Great sound , Not to mention Jessica is in it.

    Absolutely, positively one of the worst movies I've ever seen.

    Wow! Well..definitely two different points of view here. That's a pretty strong statement Frank. Did you not find anything worthwhile in this flick?

    The plot is rediculous, the "Technology" is a joke. The background plot (The secret government back room deals,etc.), the love story, all of it is a bad joke. I'm all for total mindnumbing escapism when it comes to watching a movie....but P L E A S E!!!

    Watch the first 15 minutes and you'll see....GAWD this was a bad movie!!
    Audio and Video quality, no matter how good, couldn't save this piece.

    Its pretty bad... but the last 40 minutes have enough action in it to somewhat give it a life... but otherwise sucky.

    I usually am a huge advocate of the "mindless action movie", but I gotta agree with Frank on this one - this movie was unwatchable at times. They didn't even try to make things believable. The whole thing was so predictable and bad. Jessica Beil was the only watchable part of the whole thing. Good explosions, I guess.
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

    Good idea!!

    A decent looking women might save a decent movie, but Jessica Beil can't help this one.

    Hey, if that's what made the movie for you, cool. We all have our favorites.

    The start of the movie was terrible ... the middle slightly better .... ending was the best of the whole thing ; but not worth the wait to get there .

    Sorry to say Jessica could NOT save this one and Jamie Fox and his lines were soooo childish (kiddy like) . Glad it was a rental for me .
