puh-leeez !!!

Rating: 2/10 (13 August 2011)

A previous viewer was spot on when he or she said that no one with a mental age higher than 12 could enjoy this movie. Even action/adventure movies need some minimum degree of credibility, and nothing, absolutely nothing in this movie rings true. The story is the worn out cliché of a plot to get the U.S. and Russia to attack each other. "SPECTRE" in the James Bond flicks ran that one ragged years ago. And the James Bond flicks were meant to be viewed as cartoons, so the over-the-top charades in them could be enjoyed for the fun they were. The same shtick in a movie that wants to taken seriously as an action flick simply just doesn't work. It starts right at the beginning with Jolie's character escaping from a high security facility and jumping onto vehicle after vehicle from overpasses with nary a bruise, then later dispatching dozens of armed thugs with a few karate kids. Fuggedaboutit.
The really depressing thing is that dreck like this can be swallowed by the viewing public.
