Since I'm a big fan of John Travolta's style; given to the best not only in Pulp Fiction, but also in Face/Off and Swordfish - I was pleased to see that he still can deliver an epic character who carries the movie from start to end in great suspension and coolness.
Additionally - and unfortunately nowadays extremly rare - not a single person gets killed or hurt unnecessarily. Delicate situations are handled with care even, and the only fights are carried out by using words. I love this movie for that alone. It shows class, since it really takes craftmanship to create an action movie this peaceful. In my personal opinion, this film paves the way by gifting the industry with this role model recipe to spare the users of human misery (the world is full of already) and gives the viewer something encouraging and even soothing to watch.
Sure, the woven in love story is a bit thin, but adds a nice touch nevertheless. Definitely a keeper in my book. Don't care at all how other people rate it. For me it's a 10 out of 10. Period.
