Very fluid and entertaining, but that is it

Rating: 7/10 (19 June 2009)

I think myself very generous when rating movies, not that this was a bad one. In fact, on the action level, it was very entertaining and exciting even though anyone could have predicted the end. The plot is very linear, video game-like, meaning that the guy beat out a bunch of bad guys and gets to the final boss who evidently is of the almost same power. The character development in itself is nearly absent, the stunts and the overall superiority of the main character to his surrounding are pretty far-fetched and unreal considering that there would be no way a guy of his age or shape, adding to that that he has taken his retreat, could do (heck, even Arnold or Bruce lee could not that) . Past that, if you are looking for another James bond movie, minus the stupid romance and long emotional scenes, then this is a movie for you. The acting is pretty action-like good, although the 17 year old daughter is clearly not seventeen, i mean her friend looks younger than her. At least its not worse than one tree hill, which i totally despise. Also, i do not like the fact that once again the American are portrayed as good while the other races are simply bad.
anyhow, the movie is fluid and very interesting to watch.
