I would have expected more from a Mel Gibson movie.

Movie rate: average
Audio and video quality: good, OK

However, I'd say I would have expected more from a Mel Gibson movie. The plot is OK, nothing out of the ordinary, nothing too unbelievable but hey, it's Mel Gibson, we are used to more action-packed movies when Mel Gibson is involved. It's OK to watch on a rainy Sunday afternoon but if you're trying to decide between this movie and some other, choose some other.

Mel's made more overall action-packed films, but few of his prior films have managed to combine different genres as well as this one did and do so with as much heart and emotion. Plus, when the action hit, it really counted. I especially loved the motorcycle chase and the climactic desert fight and shootout. This really is among my favorite films of his now.
