I would have given this the highest rating ("Totally Ninja") but for the absolutely idiotic idea of the Playboy bunny. What should have been - and COULD have been - an absolutely awesome movie became, IMO, a ridiculous joke. To have her pop out of the cake and show her boobs was one thing; that could have been written into the story and easily absorbed. But to have her go from being a totally ditzy "All I know how to do is dance and flash my tits" blonde to an M16-fully-automatic-wielding _"Here, trained soldier, let a ditzy blonde who's only done this once show you how to lock and load that weapon"_ assassin...it was just too much for even me to ignore. Seagal was terrific…quite possibly his best role ever as "just a cook" and adding Tommy Lee Jones in here was icing on the cake. It was just the idea of the blonde turning into a hardcore killer that...well, I can't say it "ruined" it for me because it's still a great movie, but it sure took a lot of the shine off of it, unfortunately.
