I loved it. I thought Costner was great as a bad guy, and I always like Kurt Russell. It was like a live action comic book. Although I could have done without Courtney Cox. She was fine, but her storyline cut into the hyper-violence.
I also dug the stylized way it was shot, and the little sprinklings of black humor. Granted, a few bits were overdone (like Ice-T flying through the air upside down), but it was a cool flick.
I think i'm actually getting use to this mini. My shots are looking a lot better than it use to. I've taken the advise you provided and practice is the key. Thanks again! I just have to find a way to post some sample footage..
