I was very impressed. So glad l saw it. No blood and guts, manic chase scenes, huge explosions, CGI. Just a very well done movie.

[@HonoringGeneralG.S.PattonJr]

There are huge explosions in the first 1 & 1/2 minutes & a maniacal chase immediately after.😆

@@mikeperkins3469 It is sad to me that you posted your remark. Most people who love God are supporting Trump. Trump puts God and America first. Mike it just depends on your own research. Just like the mark of the beast. Some people don't believe it will exist or will ever happen but we know it is true because it is written in Revelation. I don't know why you hate Trump but I look at his accomplishes and I am very impressed. Biden is leading us to socialism and he is spending our tax money for things that I don't approve of. example: sending 40 billion dollars to Ukraine when we have our Vets and homeless who are in great need. Also Biden as president under the Constitution is responsible to protect our borders: 2 million illegals crossed over, Venezuela has sent their criminals to America, illegals are put on our tax payers fund as in food stamps, housing, free phone, then we can talk about the Cartel and all the drugs coming across our borders. People are God's creation and He arranged each one to be exactly where they were born, just like Jesus in a manger. Their country is responsible to take care of their citizens, just like us and yet we are in great need of help especially after Covid. Most Democratic cities have defunded the police and now there is lawlessness. What is Biden doing about this? Soon Hunter Biden will be arrested because of the evidence on the laptop. etc, etc. Please do your research because I firmly believe that Trump is a God send to this country and our last hope before the coming of the Lord.

This movie seemed so relevant and interesting at the time (1998). The height of the "X-Files" era. A truly unique time in history, before the smartphone and 100% ubiquitous/always-on personal connectivity.. but not SO pre-historic that people weren't "connected" at an incredible level, never seen before in history! We all thought we were at the pinnacle, with our internet-connected PCs and Laptops able to reach "the web" at lightning speeds thanks to the newly adopted, so-called, "broadband" internet standards. We never imagined that in just a few short years, the ipod then the iphone, would take over the world and make us all truly "connected" 24 hours a day.
