A good movie

I already saw this flick but since it was a while back, I thought I might as well check it out again. In fact, I actually saw the damned thing in the movie theater when it was released. Anyway, even though it was nothing amazing, I always had a weak spot for this flick and it is definitely one of my guilty pleasures. Basically, it is a solid action flick with two really charismatic actors, no more, no less. Back then, Michael Bay didn't have a virtually unlimited budget so there was still more or less a raw feeling to the proceedings. This movie was also a milestone for many people involved. Indeed, not only it was Bay's directing debut and the start of his collaboration with Jerry Bruckheimer which would last 8 years and 4 more movies but it was also, for Will Smith, his first genuine starring role and his first opportunity to really break his 'Fresh Prince' image. Not only was it a personal success for him but nobody was expecting that he would become the King of the box-office for the next 13 following years. Anyway, to conclude, even though it is nothing really groundbreaking, it was still a decent action flick and it is in fact better than most of the movies that Michael Bay has made afterwards.
