C'mon people....raise your standards

Rating: 4/10 (25 December 2006)

We watched this movie and half way in I said to my girlfriend "Are you buying any of this?". When the movie was over, I said "Lets go on IMDb and see what other people think". I was expecting maybe a 5.5 or so. But when I saw a 7.7, I was shocked! OK... so this hit man hijacks a taxi giving the driver multiple chances to simply walk away... but he doesn't. Then suddenly the cab driver, which up until this point was freaked out beyond belief, talks calmly to cops and drug lords with hired hands pointing guns at them. Yeah...right.
We see lots of LA scenes. In one scene the freeways have ZERO cars on them. In others the freeways are packed. We see city streets empty, we see city streets packed. We see people getting blown away left and right, windows being smashed left and right, cars speeding down city streets and oddly enough not a cop to be seen anywhere.
I just can't believe anyone would fall for such a lame movie.
