Such a waste of great potential...

Rating: 5/10 (29 August 2010)

As many of You all, I was looking forward to watching most of my favorite action-stars clash in this movie. The trailer looked promising as well, though I was expecting the filmmakers to have some difficulties making each action-star relevant enough to justify my expectations. To sum it up very short and swift, this was like hammering away on the war drums so everyone was getting scared shitless - and when everyone was expecting an enormous army of demons, out came a mere pack of cows.
I am truly disappointed. The story was just plain bad. And putting Jet Li amongst others in such senseless supporting roles borders insanity in my book. What they should have done was to create a storyline equal to "Heat" and make the true potential of the cast and budget come to life in a meaningful way lasting preferably 3 hours. This was just a waste.
What a potential though...
