Are movie standards this low nowadays?

Rating: 3/10 (29 December 2010)

Bad directing, bad acting, full of holes and stolen from other movies.
I really thought the movie would be fun to watch, i like a good action/thriller movie. A friend and i watched the movie and wanted to stop watching for a couple of times. The dialogues were so easy to follow that sometimes we both said what the actor should say in response and he did ! The movies jumps from here to there without preparing the viewer. It was like a timed action movie, action for 5 minutes then some character scenes and just as you start to fall asleep some action and that just keeps going on through the whole movie, boring . .
Oh my god, Ben, what is wrong with your accent? I guess people from Boston talk with an accent, there is nothing wrong with that but it seems that where all the other actors just try to concentrate on acting with Renner doing a superb job Ben tries to show how good his accent is and fails miserably because of him trying to much, that's his problem in this movie, he tries so hard to be not only a good actor but also a good director that he fails in doing both.
All in all i would say it's a waste of time, watch the ones he stole the ideas from instead. Point Break, Heat.
I give it three stars for some of the action bits, some, and Renner.
