If spinach makes Popeye stronger, carrots prove to be the source of strength for Mr. Smith, the hero of this highly charged movie of action that never gives the audience a moment to relax! I say that based on what happens on the screen during its 86 minutes running time. This has to be one of the fastest movies in years, bar none.
Written and directed by Michael Davis, we are taken for the ride of a lifetime. Our hero, Mr. Smith, is a resourceful man, to put it mildly. He seems to smell danger coming even when it's a mile away. He is one of the most talented man with a gun in movie history. The title alone is a proper way to call his job description.
At the core of the film is the birth of a young child that Mr. Smith is responsible for delivering into the world amid a gun battle. That child is the key figure in the plot, even as an infant. We discover this baby is the object of the search a corrupt politician has ordered. We learn how he has hired Mr. Hertz, a criminal man that will stop at nothing in trying to get the boy.
In order to help Mr. Smith take care of the infant, he asks DQ, a lady with a certain reputation to come with him to mind the baby while he goes after the bad guys. The hoodlums, headed by Mr. Hertz, are always a stone throw away and they mean business. At one time, there are, what feels like hundreds of black clad gun toting men trying to get rid of Mr. Smith, something that is almost impossible.
The last sequence of the film keeps the viewer at the edge of his seat just watching how our hero battles his opponents as he jumps from a high flying jet. There is no other action film that matches the sheer excitement of the battle in midair of all the criminals against Mr. Smith.
Clive Owen was made to play this role. He gives a great reading to his Mr. Smith. He is savvy, sophisticated, and knows all the tricks imaginable to evade the evil forces that want to off him. The villainous Mr. Hertz is played by Paul Giamatti. Monica Bellucci, who plays DQ, the love interest of the leading man, has some excellent moments in which to show her beauty.
