It was fun, but utterly unsatisfying...

Rating: 6/10 (13 September 2010)

Oh, I have waited for this movie for such a long time. I knew it was directed by Sly Stallone and that the plot could and would not be any complex or good. I was even expecting some bad acting and some personal disappointment. And still, the movie managed to let me down.
Yes, the cast is made of action icons of my childhood and youth (and that ought to say something), but the roles are made for only two people: Stallone and Jason Statham. The other guys just happen to be there, say a few lines, do nothing spectacular while the bad guys explode in uninteresting and boring explosions after saying unmemorable lines.
Sorry, Mr. Stallone, this movie failed. It was a box office bomb, that's for sure, but the quality... you could and should have done better!
Bottom line: it would have been enjoyable in the 80's when I was 8 years old, but not now. Even worse, the characters could have been played by any actor, good or bad, known or unknown, the roles were so simple and plain. So, in the end, I just feel cheated that I watched a bad clichéd action movie for one single reason: the cast.
