Action Overdose

Rating: 7/10 (7 July 2013)

OK this film is worth watching, however the older you are the more you will be put off by the quantity of action in it.
Everyone managed to have at least one worthy performance. Although some of the better actors managed to perform well throughout the entire film.
For me the disappointment was with Bruce Willis and the quiet Chinese guy. They were the most unconvincing performances.
Like bad roller coaster rides, the kind that do more than just excite/thrill you, by the end of the ride you feel sick and never want to go on it again. This also describes this film's viewing experience.
If only they could beef up the script, tone down the action, stop putting in, so called "cash magnet" actors like Bruce Willis, (that really should retire.) Add some depth along with a more sophisticated soundtrack. They would have made a one-to-remember type film.
I normally do not like "the Rock" however in this film he does one of his best and believable performances! I really liked Vin Petrol too, he was awesome in this film and I wish he would act in more credible titles. The guy that plays the baddie is very good, once again proving he is around to stay.
Anyway all in all a good movie, one that requires zero brain power to process, yet not quite boring enough to send you to sleep half way through.
Summary A cliché feel good action flick.
Questions... Is it worth cinema viewing? - No; Is it worth buying? - No! Therefore wait until it is on the TV or hire it out when there are no more "Big Titles" left to watch. ;)
