I`m NOT saying boring, but... **SPOILERS**


I mean don`t get me wrong. The fight scenes are some of the best I have ever seen, but the rest... man... The editing and sound made it drag along, most of it was silence. I don`t know if it was the version I watched but the music and sound effect seemed muffled. Add that to the fact that every worth action sequence waits until the end to happen and well, I was almost ready to quit.
Almost 50 minutes into the movie and like 4-5 things happened. And no action. Plus so many things were dumb: key witnesses had no police protection, the bad guy outta jail walked out alone. It almost seemed the charachters waited around until things happened to them. That was a bit of a let down.

Watching a movie with an American police protocol bias doesn't help. It's a different country where there may be Internal Affairs but the police may handle situations a little differently. Fight scenes are one thing but the suspense and especially the microwave scene were good drama and make for an overall interesting movie. I haven't seen a crime drama solid enough like this in years
