Gotta say, this car chase is pretty nicely loaded. You can follow the action, there's a good reveal for Keira Knightley's character, the editing is tight but remains engaging, camera work is good, and it doesn't play by-the-numbers -- not bad for yet another car chase.
And, watching this, I'm thinking 'Great, can't wait'. Thing is the movie opened last week (and did pretty poorly) and I didn't go see it because trailers were so lifeless. So then, where, one must ask, was this clip last week? Why didn't Paramount play this ace before the movie opened?
Strange strategy. Are they going for a strong second weekend?
I, for one though, can't wait to see this on disc. I need to know if the rest of Shadow Recruit meets the quality of this clip. Kenneth Branagh has the chops, we certainly know that, and if the whole movie is this good somebody did a lousy job promoting it.
