I was so blown away by the first ten or fifteen minutes of this movie that I had to watch it three or four times before continuing on with the rest of the film. Technically and emotionally the first part of this film is some of the most intense rapid fire visuals ever put on screen. Its so good that when its over and the film calms down, the rest of the film pales in comparison.
This is the story of two hit men and... well... frankly I don't care. I mean that opening flourish was so great I stopped caring as to what was going on. Obviously the film couldn't keep up with that level of frantic motion, but for me the film simply stopped dead until the end, but by that time I was lost and distracted.
Twelve out of Ten for the opening, 4 out of ten over all.
