Pretty good movie....good as any smash 'em up chase scene in the city! Quite a 
lot of gore though.....not for the squeamish or queasy.

Hard to believe that Mel Gibson could make this somewhat "genocidal" film 
while harboring anti-semitic feelings. Well...unless it is possible to have 
anti-semitic feelings and NOT necessarily desire the elimination of the jewish 
race?...perhaps his views are more that of a "separatist"?

Mind you, I'm not trying to defend or justify his statements...Obviously, 
those words came out of his mouth, so there is something there as far as 
negative feelings towards jews.....But I think many folks will have the same 
thought cross their mind once they've seen this film.

I have not yet seen the film, an article in the Washington Post indicated it 
was historically grossly innacurate.   Ah, what happened to the old Mel 
Gibson.  Fortunately I don't give famous celebs any more credence from their 
public stupid comments than I do anyone else.
