Shockingly Bad

Rating: 2/10 (6 March 2013)

I can't believe this received a 6 out of 10 rating. i'm really in shock over how absolutely nothing happened in this film. to be fair, what actually did happen was not all that bad (not to say that it was great, but it wasn't particularly terrible), but the entire film should have been the intro to the film. when the end came i seriously thought the film was just about to start. the actual event that takes place in this film felt like it happened for 5 minutes. how could they have done that? in 1 1 hour episode of 24 they cram so much plot, excitement, action (sorry, just the first example i could think of) into less than an hour, and this film with all of its budget and planning couldn't do 1% of that??
i don't want to give ALL away but what happens is - they get kidnapped for 5 minutes, escape, he kills the main guys guy by placing his hand on his face (and the guy miraculously dies, no neck breaking, no knives or bullets, it's just an act of God that's completely irrelevant) and that's it. NOTHING happened during the kidnapping. they were kidnapped, then a phone call was made, then an escape/rescue happened very very quickly with nothing happening inbetween. i have no idea how this fit into 1 1/2 hours. i just couldn't believe it when it ended. there literally was no plot. i wasn't hating it while i was watching it because i was expecting more to happen or the main plot to start at any second.
a real waste of my money on my part.. don't bother seeing this. sorry taken 2 but you were really bad. you owe me money and that part of my life back.
