    Not bad,

    i disagree with peoples views on the story being original. While watching the film it occurred to me i had seen this film before, just not. This is exactly the same as 'Speed' just with people not buses and a different motive. Yes the pacemaker story has originality and yes the movie was quite entertaining but come on, doesnt anybody else realise this?
