On the level of "Daredevil"

Rating: 6/10 (15 February 2007)

I watched it tonight since I am in Taiwan and it showed couple days earlier than the states. I must say I am a bit disappointed as it reminded me of the movie "Daredevil" few years ago and upon some research, surprise, it's from the same director. For people who watched Daredevil, than you know what I am talking about, famous casts, good CGs, but a very average plot and directing. The fights with the villains are lackluster especially with the minor villains. The acting from Nicolas Cage, Peter Fonda and Eva Mendes all seemed very routine. All Eva Mendes does in the movie is consistently showing off her cleavage, while it's great to look at, the chemistry between her and Nicolas Cage seemed non-existence. Give this movie the same expectation as "Daredevil" as they are very the same product, different package.
