Does it's job...

Rating: 7/10 (20 February 2009)

Oh how could I forget about this movie?! This is the kind of flick I enjoy watching during a hang over because it defines perfectly the action movie clichés. What am I talking about? Well, it delivers an easy to follow plot where the good guy has to fight against the villains, where there is sentimentalism (that dirty rabbit doll is a low punch for those who easily get sentimental or cry), badass villains, very good f/x, cheesy one-liners (Cy...onara please?) a decent score, and of course, the typical plot where everything has to de destroyed.
Nicholas Cage is fine this time although the movie didn't recquire a demanding acting level. John Malkovich steals the show as always in this badass performance. Monica Potter is super sexy and cute at the same time; how does it works? Easy! she's super sexy.
So grab a bag of popcorn and enjoy! This movie won't make you think. Just enjoy the f/x and cheesy plot. There you go, a typical American Action flick.
