A View |
What little plot there was kept being derailed by the need for action sequences involving guns or cars or sometimes both. And honestly the actors would have been more expressive if they had worn crash helmets. However, the lack of dialogue allowed me to turn off the sound for quite long periods. Inexplicably quite liked by the critics and it made a lot of money. |
