Edited, shredded, scenes too quick.

Rating: 2/10 (27 September 2008)

No scene in this film lasts for long enough to be able to appreciate the content, whether that be an action sequence, or the potentially-thoughtful dialogue. The end result is jerky, so much so that at times I even had trouble following the plot.
This is a key example of how average scene lengths have shortened in contemporary popular cinema.
Even if it just an action flick; and this film had the potential to be so much more, neatly balancing action with moral dilemma and questions of human nature; then it work far better if the audience could be able to see what was actually happening, to revel in all the special effects. And perhaps even the dialogue.
It is designed to increase the pace of a film, to make it exciting, but there is no time to be excited or interested.
