Yep. I totally recommend the movie myself. Geena Davis and Jackson are a great pair.

Ditto here too.

It's an absolute classic. i never thought Geena Davis could take on a fabulous, massive action role and performance as she did,... and she absolutely nailed it .!!

Clive Owen never strikes me as a tough guy. He always just seems like he's trying seem like a tough guy, like in Sin City. The facial expressions are over the top, like he's making his best "mean face". lol

Back at the turn of the century, BMW put out a series of short films called "The Hire" and Clive Owens plays the driver in each film. He was great in those. Each one is 8-10 minutes long and basically a BMW commercial for the featured car but done as a movie with great chase and driving scenes. Each film features different big name directors and big name stars, no expense was spared to produce the series.

My favorites were "Star" directed by Guy Ritchie and starring Madonna. If you like Madonna, you'll like the film and if you don't like Madonna, then you'll love the film.

My other fav was "Beat The Devil" directed by Tony Scott and stars James Brown, Danny Trejo, and Gary Oldham as The Devil. The Marilyn Manson cameo is awesome! The film is a takeoff of "Crossroads"

The series was the inspiration for "The Transporter" movies. They are all short and are all on YouTube, well worth watching.

Owen has been in some fairly decent movies…check out:

Inside Man—bank robbery with Denzel.
Children of Men—Sci-Fi with Michael Caine

He also did a King Arthur Movie; a Killer Elite remake with Robert Deniro and Jason Statham; and a corporate espionage flick with Jennifer Anniston called Derailed.
