Just awful

Rating: 1/10 (29 June 2011)

I mean it - it's really bad. There's nothing realistic about this movie, and I hate to repeat was most have said about the film, but it's hyper-violent with really no redeeming qualities. Oh, it starts in a promising fashion that had me thinking about the underrated classic "No Way Out" (back when Kevin Costner made good movies), but then it simply got more and more implausible and ridiculous as it went on. Ya see, I get it when The Bride in "Kill Bill" slices up a dozen or more Japanese guys, because it's a stylized fantasy that looks great and even laughs at itself. But this...well, let's just wonder why they aren't training U.S. Secret Service agents better. During the boring and predictable "climax" of the film (no spoilers), they even resort to the bit from the old "Superman" TV show, where someone actually throws a gun, attempting to hurt someone. A waste of time. Really.
