actually, more than I expected

Rating: 8/10 (30 August 2010)

When I heard that this sort of movie, with mega-stars is being filmed, I thought that it's gonna be a pile of c(junk). The storyline isn't that bad, and the fighting scenes are fan-bloody-tastic (except for the tower blowing parts). First the stuff I didn't like. The Monroe dude, he just wears too much make up. And the scene with Schwartzie and Bruce too (why in heaven's sake did they put that in the movie, it's too excessive). The rest is fairly good. And the shooting and fighting scenes are... just... breathtaking. Splendid. Statham did a wonderful job, Lee too, Stallone did OK, but I really hoped to see Rourke in action. Lundgren's role is, without exaggeration, strange. Also I didn't like the mistreating of the Serbs in the movie (they could've inserted a more recent U.S. foe), and the Spanish. But the rest of the movie was a classical hard-core action movie, the kind that wasn't seen in movie theaters in years. Good job.
