Decent Action Flick

Rating: 5/10 (12 September 2010)

I had high hopes while going to see this movie. With a cast like this, expectations were raised. But my expectations were dashed as the story failed to involve the viewer.
The actions scenes were brilliantly shot especially the airplane one. But something was missing. It is like a group of actions scenes strung together. The attempt to give a touch of emotionality to the film is a major failure.
The comic relief provided at regular intervals really helps the movie. Stallone and Jason were really impressive. Jet Li also did a decent job. Rourke was wasted and Jason's side story could have easily been avoided.
If this movie had a good director/writer like Nolan, this movie could have been a lot better.
Another thing regarding the blood. It was totally unrealistic. Totally avoidable. This movie could have done well without it.
All in all, a decent one-time action flick. Could have been better but also could have been worse.
