good with a disappointing ending

Rating: 7/10 (1 March 2010)

I thought this was a very good and entertaining action film, my only qualm was with the ending. I thought, all the way through, that this guy is gonna win, he had it all sussed out but then the over-paid Foxx get's the last laugh with a really short and bad ending, then, for some sort of reflection afterwards, they give you a corny finale scene where Foxx is watching his daughter play on stage, erm, NO, this doesn't cut-it I'm afraid. As I said, I really thought, if there would be a film where the bad (I agreed with him tho' so I'd say good) guy wins, this would have been it, and to me, the film would have been the so much better for it. Alas, no, the writers got lazy, finished it quickly with a useless final scene. anyway, I thoroughly enjoyed this film as far as action films go, and for this type of film, I thought the idea's were more original than usual and not terribly written.
