When I saw the previews for this movie I knew I had to go see it. Basically all your action stars in one movie. I just wished they had some better material to work with. I know not to expect great story telling and even great dialog, but really some editing and you could get this thing down easily to 90 min if not even shorter. Heck, just program in the action scenes and that would be about a 20 to 30 min movie?
So the plot? Who cares, but it goes something like this - starts off with some good action, then it just drags on until the next action sequence some more talking and then a chase. And drags on until the next and then the final shootout. See a pattern? There is a whole back story on the Jason Statham character that could really be just dropped entirely. I think he had x minutes of screen time written into his contract.
There is maybe one scene in which I would want to buy the DVD/BL just to run it as a demo for my sub, but other than that I think I'll wait for it to go on sale at the previously viewed section.
Save your money, go if it is free, wait for the rental so you can skip the boring bits.
