Slow Paced Action Movie

Rating: 6/10 (19 September 2014)

6.5/10
+The acting in the movie was spot-on.
-Beware, If part of your reason for seeing this movie is because you are a fan of Chloe Grace Moretz, she is only in the film for what seems a total of 15 minutes. 13 minutes at the beginning, 2 minutes at the end. She has an important role and plays it well, there just isn't much of her.
-The pacing is slow, and, while the action is good, there isn't as much action in this movie as you might think. Be prepared for that.
-The bad guys are pretty inept. That was my number one disappointment with the film. For a one man army who is trying to take down one of the most powerful crime lords in the world it was WAY too easy to navigate through the bad guys.
-There is nothing that evokes any type of emotional reaction during the film (at least for me). It was a pretty run of the mill drama/action film.
+If you like slower paced, character driven stories, where the bad guys don't put up much of a fight and you enjoy the good guy dismantling the enemy one by one, then you will enjoy this film.
-Other people are comparing this somewhat to Bourne; don't expect bourne, you will be disappointed.
