The film is pretty light on martial-arts action, and what there is, is often cowboy style, i.e. puching each other on the chin etc, which is a great way to hurt your hands instead of your opponent. I still don't understand the ending, or why Neo succeeded in making the deal that he did... it feels like important plot points ended up on the cutting room floor.
FWIW, Violet was bored out of her mind, I was trying desperately to make sense of the philosophy in the dialogue, trying
to figure out exactly what the metaphors were, mostly without success... At this point, I think the second movie was the best of the series.
