Glorifying murder?

Rating: 3/10 (22 June 2013)

The amount of plot holes in this movie make it difficult to classify it as an action movie. Much has been written here about the absurdity of the script. Just to give one extra example: sneaking into a police station to examine a safe by blowing up the men's room and breaking a man size hole in the wall, and still letting your audience believe it went unnoticed; it is to silly for words. So, I tried to look at it as a comedy, but it didn't fit either. The only objection I want to add to the list is the way Luke Hobbs shoots a defenceless man begging for help, even though he is the bad guy in this movie. I know, it's the American fairytale, the good guys shoot the bad guys and everybody lives happily ever after, but this is the glorification of brutal murder. You can't do that, not even in silly movies like this.
