From The New Yorker
For about an hour, it's nasty fun. John Travolta, looking like something from "The Planet of the Apes," is a shadowy fanatical patriot who terrorizes innocent people to prove to professional terrorists how tough he will be on them (or something like that); Hugh Jackman is a rather brawny hacker employed by Travolta; Halle Berry, not invariably clothed, is the lure that keeps Jackman in place. The screenplay, by Skip Woods, consists of a series of erotic taunts; the action, directed by Dominic Sena, is preposterous but entertaining. Somewhere along the line, however, the plot becomes so far-fetched, and the digital effects and violence so opportunistic, that one loses interest. The digitally innocent will be excited by shots of a helicopter toting a bus through the buildings of downtown Los Angeles. Produced by the veteran summer-season sledgehammer Joel Silver. -David Denby
