10/10
I liked it.

Sorry guys, but I liked this film. I liked the characters and I especially liked the action scenes, they were believable. Unlike the current spate of action films where the car, if not the hero is defying gravity, jumping through buildings, knowing exactly where to go, without any planning and in total defiance of the law of gravity. Our heroine escapes using plausible means. When trapped in the parking garage, she doesn't suddenly go airborne, jump three cars, fly into the next door office building, into the elevator, down to the 3rd floor, out the other window, landing on conveniently passing semi-trailer. She knows there is no way out, so she surrenders. While it may not be plausible that the FBI guy, Targonsky, would give her opportunity to escape by taking her out of the car, it's at least possible. While in Hollywood terms all the combatants are lousy shots, but when you think of it that's real too, in combat, most shots miss.

It's an action film, but the director kept it real throughout the film and I, for one, thank him for it as I gave up Saturday morning cartoons a long time ago.
