Very funny send-up of action movies which is also exciting and has good special effects. Every cliche you've ever encountered is utilised: the corpse that won't die; the meeting which, unbeknownst to the protagonists, gives vital information to the killer; the drug-addict with the heart of gold; the mild-mannered, pre-occupied father who becomes a super-hero to defend his daughter; the vulnerable victim who effortlessly thwarts her vicious attackers. Add killings of violent comic book intensity, thrilling chases, some nicely observed satires on American hypocrisy and European laisser faire. Throw in some well judged, tongue in cheek performances from the starry cast, some good visual gags and witty one-liners and there you have it! Thrilling, funny entertainment that doesn't insult its viewers' intelligence by demanding that they take it seriously.
