Aside from the bevy of famous actors, this movie is just bad

Rating: 3/10 (25 August 2012)

Where to begin? Well, the acting was okay. Just okay. Aside from Jason Statham who is above-average acting talent, everyone else was sub-par or well below average. The addition of the random Oriental actress didn't help this movie's cause. Aside from that, everything was predictable and the facial expressions and everything else that goes along with acting was pretty atrocious.
The plot was lacking substance and purpose. A clear revenge story with no end, it seemed to drag on and add fuel to the fire in all the unnecessary and sometimes necessary, although predictable, ways. The violence factor was through the rough, which offended me as a portion of the audience. It was as if the director (if this movie even had one) didn't hold the movie-goer to a high enough standard and threw in as much and blood and violence as possible. Maybe to distract the audience from the limitless holes in the plot.
As well as including pointless sections of wasted film into this movie, there are so many stupid and absolutely ridiculous corny jokes. As if the director had a hard-on for every Schwarznegger film ever made and decided to include every piece of cinephile-ific reference into the cracks of this movie.
I don't know what more to say. Bad acting, bad plot, yet good (sort of) casting. I will be merciful and reward this movie points, even if it didn't go the whole nine yards to receive them.
+1 for non-stop action
+2 for casting
