Definitely over the top/clichéd at times, with a pretty big plot hole if you think too hard about it, but also fun, exciting, and different, which is pretty rare for action movies these days.
This historical treatise has a lot of notoriety but I found it unnecessarily dense, and ultimately flawed, in that its focus on states and state power ignores a related discussion of capitalist power, such that altho there is a useful perspective to glean here about how a drive for social legibility can transform a society, I wouldn't recommend the book overall.
