Lush, loud, furious, preposterous espionage thriller, something to do with a pending Chinese Trade Agreement and ongoing attempts to scuttle it. The too-much-too-soon opening is as indigestible as any recent James Bond pre-credits sequence. But Wesley Snipes, although incontestably a superspy, is at least not supercilious about it. And there is an interesting cinematic device -- more interesting than any espionage gadget -- of him intuitively reconstructing a crime in flashback, based solely on the physical and perhaps psychical evidence at the scene. And there is an interesting variation on it later, reminiscent vaguely of Dario Argento in his Deep Red heyday, when, in the heat of the action, the hero replays in his head events he witnessed first-hand but failed at the time to comprehend. With Marie Matiko, Anne Archer, Donald Sutherland, Maury Chaykin, and Michael Biehn; directed by Christian Duguay. (2000) — Duncan Shepherd
