Even Rambo is cooler.

Rating: 1/10 (29 June 2010)

While the action and the actors are good, this movie lacks everything else that makes a good movie for me. If you don't care about a good story, and like expensive action, I am sure you'll be happy with this movie.
As mentioned, I am not happy with the story. The story is as simple as you can imagine. Not only is it simple, it has zero depth and yet it is still full of goofs. Pretty much all that happens in this movie is, that Neesen is running through Paris slaughtering one evil gangster after another. On that way, simply everyone, even innocent people, are shot, hit or kicked. The movie barely cares about morals. Even less than Rambo. (And I am no fan of Rambo.) The moral of the story probably comes down to this: You may kill everyone for the American dream! (Especially non-Americans? Because only foreigners have been killed in this movie.)
I am no moralist, and I totally don't want to be one when it comes to art. Maybe I would have liked this movie if Neesen would have been drawn a bit more evil. Most of the time he is looking like some shiny hero. (Especailly in the pathetic 08/15 Hollywood-ending.) And for me that is simply totally absurd. Psychological there is no realism in this movie. - And isn't the psychological aspect in stories the most interesting?
Everything in this movie feels as if you have seen it before. Visually it's boring. The conversations and characters are stereotypical. There are no new ideas, totally nothing interesting. There isn't one moment in this movie that will force you to think. There is no: Uh, what did just happen now?" Not even an: Oh, I am so interested in what will happen next."
Objective I should rate this movie higher (maybe with a 2 or 3), subjective I have no other choice but to give this movie 1 point. I can't remember any movie that angered me in a similar way.
