Expectations people

Rating: 9/10 (5 December 2011)

Look at the poster, look at the cast, and go in with the only expectation anyone could have. This isn't going to be Shakespeare, it isn't going to change the way you think about chocolate. It is absolutely going to take you on a thrill ride of testosterone fuelled violence and cheesy one liners. It is brilliant in it's simplicity, and has done a masterful job of not getting in the actors' way by trying to get them to do anything other than what they do best. If this is a "vehicle" movie for these guys, then it is a supercharged Ferrari with rocket launchers on the hood. I loved it, but then again I was excited to see it. If you saw the trailer and thought "that could be cool" you won't be disappointed. If you were hoping for Brokeback Mountain then you're the idiot, not the fans of this movie. Can't wait for the sequel, finger crossed for JCVD and Chuck Norris!!
