⭐ 6/10

September 2, 2024

Last watched this years ago and didn't think much of it then but seeing it again, did find it moderately entertaining if not cheap looking at times under journeyman director Rob Bowman who helmed more TV episodes than feature films. Still, Jennifer Garner is great and I guess some of the fight scenes were okay and a serviceable enough of a story, if not feeling slapped together. **2.75/5**
