For instance, according to Louise Keller at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.urbancinefile.com.au\/home\/view.asp?a=18468&amp;s=Reviews\">Urban Cinefile<\/a>, &#8220;The powerful pairing of Washington and Reynolds as the cynical, idealistic agents respectively has plenty of promise, although the decision to use dizzying hand-held camera work intrudes on what could be a far more powerful and enjoyable film.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>What do you think about the film? Did you like the level of action and chemistry? Or did you think that the film was too cliche and basic?
