Not even worth my time watching it on the plane...

Rating: 3/10 (26 April 2015)

I actually smelled the odor of a piece of "riiiiiight" cinema pretty early on, and decided to stop watching. A "riiiight" film, for those who don't know because I just made it up, is where the filmmaker tries to make you believe something so unrealistic and far fetched that you say to yourself (or maybe even say out loud): "riiiiiight, possibly followed by "suuuuuuuuuuure".
The boredom of a 10 hr flight got to me in the end, and I decided to turn it back on. Many "riiiiight"s later I got to the end. I often get people telling me that they like these movies even though they know they are far fetched because they are "just entertainment". But when everything is so overdone that it looks like a satire but it really isn't, I check out. This was such a film. In spite of maybe murdering 50 villains during the movie, Denzel is the good guy, and we are supposed to feel sympathy for him. And the Russian bad guys were so, so bad. Thank god Denzel is there to slaughter them all with no collateral damage. He's such a bad ass.
