Very enjoyable!

The critics haven't liked anything Costner has done since Mr. Brooks, so I wasn't going to let their dysfunctional bias deter me from seeing it. Criminal is very much worth the theater experience. The movie's sleek opening sequence moves with good rhythm and great action. The plot is established quickly and Costner carries the story with a strong and likable presence. Bits of well placed humor come across as though they are unique to Costner's style. Costner is met on screen by a supporting cast who delivers unfailingly. Whenever the main star isn't in the scene, the plot keeps moving forward without any loss of suspense, fun and intrigue. I enjoyed this movie a great deal, though I was little lost sometimes on what was happening in the story and why. Still loved it. Without spoiling the ending, I'll just say that the very last shot of the film is a personal message from Costner to his fans and to the world: "I'm back!!"
