Rating: Q=5, P=3 / Thanks But No Thanks
Scale 1=3, Scale 2=2, Scale 3=2, Scale 4=1
Thriller, Action, Detective, Car Chase, Mystery

Classic car chase, great soundtrack, enjoyable action sequences, but not much more- at least for my tastes. There was little psychological development of characters or even development of the story. Definitely fun to watch and worthy of the awards for editing, but this is film is clearly visual rather than intellectual or emotional.
