Pretty disappointing for so much advance Hype.

Rating: 3/10 (14 June 2008)

With Mark Wahlberg starring, I figured I was in for at least an entertaining movie, but that was my first mistake. Shooter was great, this sort of failed at whatever they were trying to do. It was just bizarre, continuous death. Gruesome...well sort of. Scary, just sort of. It left me waiting for some plot line to pull the film together, and it just did not happen. Most people from what I could tell, felt the same way. If you can get it as a CHEAP rental, that is the best way to spend your money with this film. I used to use the following guideline...If there is a LOT of advance hype, you can bet it is because they want a big opening box office take, not because it is a great movie. It seems the really good ones gain momentum on their own, and people rave about it, causing it to gain strength and large viewing audiences. Mark Wahlberb will probably look back on this as one he should not have signed on for. It is sure beneath his usual fare. Also, there is no reason whatsoever to take anyone under 18 to see this. They will draw their own conclusions from sheer senseless violence, and since there is no plot, where will the conclusions be drawn from?
