Fun to watch but very ridiculous.

Rating: 7/10 (5 August 2012)

Despite the negative reviews this movie is actually not that bad. It is disappointing that the movie is rated so highly as the target audience would be far better suited at 15 year old boys.
There are some negative aspects such as some poor acting and some unusual editing choices such as some badly cut sequences where we have a strange flashback and you only know we are flashing back due to some makeup cues. Another aspect is that you need to know a little bit of Abe's history to make sense of some of the story. Thank goodness for the Simpsons so that non-Americans have some idea of what is going on.
The action sequences are entertaining while bordering on the completely ridiculous and occasionally cause a laugh at the completely unbelievable nature of how characters can survive being thrown across a room and smash walls to pieces and still walk away or keep fighting.
One major annoying aspect of this film is that Abe can suddenly be this amazing fighting hunter with only ten minutes of training in the woods. A little more training than telling yourself the truth would have been a great addition to the film. This training is one of the negative aspects of the film.
This movie is worth seeing and a lot of fun but you need to take into mind that the movie is ridiculous, the action scenes over rely on CG with no practical performances and it has very limited historical accuracy.
