Action packed with a simplistic storyline

Rating: 6/10 (19 August 2010)

I like AJ doing the action role so I was always going to want to watch this. The trailer was good and encouraged me to do so.
The film started well and got very gritty from the start. Promising. Sadly though, this is the point where I should have switched off my brain. The storyline is VERY simplistic and doesn't really care if it makes sense or not. The scenes jump from one action stunt to another but the bit that joins them together is really not there. If you leave your brain switched on then you will struggle to watch this. The laws of science and biology do not apply to this film and AJ seems to be made from Kevlar. Oh, and please please please don't watch this film believing that there are any great big twists because a three year old could work out the plot from the very start. The reveal just leaves you thinking...Derrrrrrrr!!!!!
So to sum up; The story is nonsense, the action is full on but illogical, the characters are cliché and the ending is highly predictable and lazy. In my world this film is nonsense but in AJ's world this film is good for those who have trouble remembering to breathe. Its stupid but there is action in it. Just don't expected to come away from watching this feeling enlightened.
I've rated this as a 6 just coz you can forget reality watching it. AJ will always get good marks from me so if you ever have a bored Sunday afternoon then maybe hire out the DVD. I just wouldn't recommend going to the cinema to watch it.
