Never believable, never boring

Rating: 7/10 (25 January 2015)

This film has all the ingredients of the classic American action movie: the good versus the bad, America versus Russia, the happy end.
I must say that even though the film misses any sort of true storyline or plot, and never fails to amaze in its total implausibility, never at any point did I get bored or want to turn off the movie. I guess that it is only the quality of the performance by Denzel Washington that makes you forget about the lack of storyline and the unrealistic super-hero capabilities of his character, which is a complement for him but not so much for the script itself.
A decent watch for a lazy, rainy Sunday afternoon.
