Poor directing

Rating: 3/10 (15 December 2003)

When I started watching this movie I was under the impression that it was some sport documentary - sort of a "Gilette World Sport Special". Later it started to look like an MTV video, and in the end it turned into a video-game...
All in all it was poorly directed (I was surprised to find out Renny Harlin directed it), badly shot, over-edited and the music didn't fit at all. Not to mention that annoying sports comentary voice-overs.
Story kinda holds water though, although it's overfilled with characters. And majority of FX aren't bad either. And the Old Bag (Stallone) still has some charm to himself. Estella Warren looked dandy, too, in her red swimsuit.
