Terrible story, but funny and worth it

Rating: 8/10 (12 August 2014)

If the film were to take itself seriously, it would have been horrible. BUT, as the director fully understood the limits of his script, he turned it into a virtual parody at which the main characters seem quite aware they're just pulling a shtick. They look at the camera without appearing really solemn for even a second. There are several ludicrous discrepancies in the story and a reviewer accustomed to deep stuff would throw this down the stairs, but the atmosphere of this fast-paced picture is replete with so much action and rich visual effects, the common man will not even notice. It leaves little room for thoughts like "WTF is this". Bottom line, this is quite entertaining. It will amuse you greatly, and that's just about that.
