Stopped watching it midway.Another basic political movie with an agenda of brainwashing Americans with a typical plot of America saves the world vs Russians and Koreans. When will people open their eyes to Hollywood pouring our blatant disguised nationalism?Action movies used to be entertaining but now they're just a waste of multimillion dollar budgets fuelled by the American armament industry.So go buy a gun because she's a secret agent wearing make up at all times.

Angelina Jolie is a great action film actress. I think she's an underrated actress in general, but definitely she does action flicks well. Why they didn't do a sequel I don't understand. She kicks ass just as well as the boys: Matt Damon in Bourne flicks and Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible flicks. Someone said she was unbelievable because she was a skinny chick beating up strong men. Give me a break. It's an action film not a documentary and besides what's wrong with having women do fun action movies like the guys. Hooray for Maggie Q; Kate Beckinsale; Milla jovich. We need more women action heroines. If you want a fun action film with a woman kicking ass then I highly recommend salt. Now I can hardly wait for the new female Doctor Who- it's about time

I gotta say, I didn't want to like this movie... but I did! It moves at a fast pace, right from the start, and never really lets up! The plot is okay, but it is hard to believe that someone Jolie's size could beat up so many other people twice her size. Also, her leaping abilities are much too comic book-ish. But there is a bit of suspense about who she really is, and it kept me entertained for the running time, so 7 stars it is! (but I should take away one star, or more, for that actor playing the U.S. President! Was that Keanu's dad? Terrible.)

Not sure why this film is not as well received as it should be. It is about an American CIA or FBI agent who is compromised in order to set off a series of events leading to global chaos. This film has a lot of moving parts but is handled well and it is very entertaining. The action is well choreographed and shot without annoying shaky cam. Plus it is non- stop. This film didn't do well enough to merit a sequel, which is a shame because this is an outstanding example of a kickbutt film with a strong female lead. I guess that sort of thing wasn't trending hard enough back then. Sad how Hollywood is using important issues as a mean to market films nowadays. But what is sadder is how people buy into it. Anyway this is a great spy thriller worth checking.
