Hated it.

Rating: 1/10 (2 October 2012)

This film was an attempt to seem clever, ruthless and sophisticated. It just came across as brash, crude and violent. It wasn't a gore fest but the torture scenes were horrible, even though not not much was shown. The characters are horrible and after about an hour, the plot flags. It was so bad I left early, what a complete waste of money. Sadly, it appears that JGL has finally been in a bad movie :(
I was especially disappointed because I really liked the concept but I wasn't expecting the nasty streak that ran through the movie. I don't mind a good action sequence or seeing some blood and guts flying in a fight. What I do mind is the element of schadenfreude that was displayed in the torture scenes.
The film makers seek to prove how 'tough' they are with their gritty, futuristic atmosphere but the world they created wasn't remotely appealing and the main character jointly played by JGL and Bruce Willis was repulsive in every way, from his greed to his lifestyle to his itchy trigger finger. Even the supposedly older, wiser and reformed character is unsympathetic. I really hated this film.
