I honestly don't see what the big deal is.

How this movie snaked its way up to the IMDb Top 250 is beyond me, especially when the likes of "Gojira" (Inshiro Honda, 1954) and "Jurassic Park" (Steven Spielberg, 1993) are not even on the list. I mean come on! Perhaps it's because it was the first of its kind; a gun-ho action movie where a singular protagonists lays the smack down on many a bad guy. I don't really have much to say about the film itself, other than nice explosions and nice guns. Whether or not it continued the tradition of the standard action flick, which is debatable, that's all I can really say about this movie: standard.
Standard characters, standard storyline, and standard comic-relief. The action is fine and dandy but I guess I'm a film lover who expects more out of a movie. What's to stop me from comparing this movie to the likes of 'Commando"? Not much really, what's the difference in all honesty.
