If your expecting art, put down your ticket and back away...

Well, let me begin by saying that this is *not* a movie to go to seeking some sort of cinema enlightenment or deep, involving plots. What it is, is the equivalent of a really fast amusement park ride. There's no thinking, no being "moved"... just gut-clenching nonstop thrill after thrill.
The movie feels like a read of a 30's pulp novel which is, of course, what it's modeled after. The good guys are really good, and the bad guys really bad. No grey, no hemming and hawing over who's right and not... just straightforward headfirst action.
Mind you, this kind of movie is best enjoyed in moderation. This kind of action film gets old pretty fast. Luckily, they tend to come only one or two a year. When they do, however, it's time to strap into your seat, sit back, and enjoy the ride.
Don't come looking for culture. It's just not there. Instead, turn off the cartoon bubble for a couple hours and have some good old, childlike, cowboys & indians-cops & robbers style fun.
