Exactly as I hoped, only missed in one area

Rating: 7/10 (30 August 2010)

Going in I knew what I was looking forward to seeing. A classic action film with little plot to get in the way of the story. This film delivers. I think that approach explains why the movie has been so popular.
Excellent action sequences, completely unrealistic. A team of 6 guys can wipe out several hundred local militia. Explosions, car chases, fight scenes. It has it all.
The only two things I believe the movie missed on are:
1. No good snappy one liners. No "Stick Around!" after tossing a bowie knife to the ribs. No "If it bleeds...", "Go for it", "Surfs Up" after hitting someone with a surf board. Very little of that.
2. How far away is that helicopter? Guam? It seemed like when they ran across the fire stream the chopper was right there but it took Eric Roberts another 20 minutes to get to it.
