Too muscled

Rating: 7/10 (25 August 2010)

This movie is fun, but stiff. The dialog, camera work, editing, and plot move like the over-muscled actors that populate the film. Walking into the movie I had high hopes that it would be a vehicle for exploring getting old and feeling undervalued, especially from the perspective of a professional athlete. Instead, it was just a tongue-in-cheek action film with over the top violence and some really good fight scenes. Despite my disappointment, I enjoyed the movie just because of the ridiculous number of action stars. Aim your expectations low, set your tolerance for blood high, and you'll probably enjoy this movie.
