Disappointing. Great concept, but fizzled.

Rating: 4/10 (9 March 2014)

I was excited to see this film, but what a letdown. I admire Matt Damon but his character was flat and unsympathetic. Keaunu Reeves could have done better. The same for Jody Foster, of whom I was a big time fan. From the start, with the girl and her sick daughter, the plot was predictable. And now many times do we have to watch the hero get his butt kicked over and over, until at the brink of defeat, he rallies back. His main antagonist was a stock character, hate-able in every which clichÃ©, down to the laughing every time he thought he was winning. Entire movie was nothing but a CGI, mixed martial arts, over the top slug fest. What's with these long over done fight scenes in movies lately? Save your money. You've seen this before.
