shiny package, empty inside

Rating: 3/10 (9 April 2006)

The content: fast cars, helicopters, pretty women, evil villains, gold and riches, a robber gang with its super plot and specialists. But the movie plot and also the typical dialogue between the people has no interesting content whatsoever, it is meant to be "cool" but you've seen it all a million times in other better movies already. In other words: this is modern Hollywood movie art at its most typical.
Artistic innovation? The people making these kind of movies probably don't even know what artistic innovation means. They probably just laugh all the way to the bank when armies of idiots go buy their endless and brainless variations of a typifal commercial actions flick.
The action? It is speedy, endless and rather OK, but the major impression you get might not be entertainment but a dejavu feeling: hey, I must have seen this before somewhere...
Like everyone knows there are 13 movies of this sort in a dozen. Once you've seen a couple of them, you've actually seen all of them. Besides, the plot of this movie is hardly a mediocre one. If you really want to see a movie of this genre, why not give some of the other 13 movies of the dozen a try?
