Predictable, but alright for brain-dead Thursday hours

Rating: 6/10 (29 December 2006)

I'm not too fond of predictable Hollywood flicks, but hey, I had a free ticket so I thought I'd give it a chance yesterday evening, as I like going to the cinema and there wasn't anything else to see.
It would be a lie if I'd say that this one wasn't predictable, at least not in my humble opinion. One could figure out most of the flick pretty fast, and besides the plot, I even found the scene development to be too familiar with the typical Hollywood touch to it; a girl facing herself in the mirror while wearing only her bra on top, the implicit promotion of certain ideals and industries... well, you know it. It kind of makes me wanna throw up, but anyhow... it wasn't too difficult to blindfold oneself for these kind of things and just focus on the plot, as the flick kept a quite decent pace. Even though by judging what's written above might draw one to an easy conclusion that I wasn't fond of the flick it all, I must emphasize that it was after all a quite good brain-dead action. I mean, a flick like this one doesn't require too much of one's concentration.
6/10
