I hate action films, especially action sequences. Normally, they are ineptly made, random fragments stuck together with little concern about continuity.
This film is exactly the opposite. The cuts are lightning quick, so quick you can't even fully process the images you see, but that's no impediment. You just grab onto a distinctive sound or shape or color and take the ride. Everything is so meticulously crafted that everything is crystal clear. You never, not once, give up on a scene because you can't follow what's occuring.
These sequences are masterpieces and most assuredly find themselves placed along the great scenes of all time and dissected in film classes for years to come. They are nothing less than brilliant.
