30 Minutes Too Long
23 May 2004
Not a bad cop film from Belgium/Netherlands. Good action, an interesting story, and fantastic performance by the fellow who plays the old guy/hitman. The action was good, and the suspense more than adequate. Alas, the bloody thing goes on for about 30 minutes too long. This film would have been PERFECT at 90 minutes. But no. They had to go and tack on an extra 30 minutes. Bad mistake. Film takes a nosedive at the 90-minute mark. Can you say, "padded?" Still, not a bad film from Belgium. P.S. Too bad the hot female cop (Linda was her name) didn't get more screentime. She basically just stood in the background or, like the other cop, spent her time delivering papers or reports to the two main cops. Filmmakers didn't know they had a good thing on their hands.

My score: 7/10.
