Disappointing. |
Phew, with all the insanely good reviews this is getting I was starting to wonder if I was the only one who was a bit underwhelmed. As you say, the chase sequences are technically and visually stunning (my fav part is the sandstorm but it got to a point that the emphasise on these acton chase parts felt like overkill and numbed me to their effect), especially in the third act. I also felt there were problems with the story.
This gets a 7/10 for me. I will probably end up re-watching it to try and get a more coherent grasp of the story though.
I watched Comedy of Terror's with Price last night.
That gets a 8/10.
