6.6??? What???

Rating: 3/10 (20 June 2011)

Shame on you, IMDb users, for such an outrageously high rating for possibly the worst film I have ever seen.
For such an awesome cast such as Stallone (good in First Blood, I was hoping for a similar performance), Jet Li (kung fu legend), Bruce Willis (Die Hard), etc. this movie really stinks. I am a fan of gory, foul-mouthed action movies, but this just did not deliver.
Stallone was boring, his face looks melted and so was his character's personality; melted into one big vat of awfulness. Jet Li was also boring; his Kung Fu skills seemed simmered down into a cup of tedium.
and as for Bruce Willis, I might sue the makers of the poster/DVD cover. HE WASN'T IN IT. two, maybe three lines was all he got. I couldn't even tell if he was on form or not.
I was dreading this part of my review. the script. for the dialogue was so so so so so so so so so so so so BAD it was pretty much unwatchable. the characters were just meaty idiots seeing how many people they could kill (and extra points for lack of realism!). at one point there must be about half a second delay before a bullet hits someone after it is fired out a gun less than a metre away. that's about the speed i can fire an elastic band.
there was also no humour, no funny lines, no action hero classic quotes such as 'I'll be back'. it was just drivel.
this leads me on to the camera-work. hang on, WHAT Camera-work? the action scenes were so dark and shaky I didn't know who was going to shoot who next, or whether I was going to shoot myself.
the message of my review is this. STALLONE, GIVE UP. YOU CAN'T MAKE MOVIES. YOU CAN ACT IN WELL WRITTEN ONE'S, BUT YOU CAN'T MAKE THEM. ALSO, WHOEVER FUNDED THIS FILM, YOU SHOULD GO INTO HIDING. THIS IS UNVORGIVABLE.
there. I've said my bit. watch this film at your peril.
