you could do worse!

Rating: 7/10 (24 April 2003)

This is a good entertaining film. End of story. Not quite. The acting is, well i'd say - good. The story, though not real original, is also good and the fight scenes are pretty much eye candy; albeit not too realistic. They're just COOL. All in all I liked this movie and would recommend it if you light fight films.
I also like how the director and writer had the transporter without too many lines and no cheesy one liners when he's come face to face with or demolish a goon and/or thug. It was most enjoyable with what wasn't said, rather than any geeky taunt or quip. It helped Jason Stathen to exude the badass persona without having to rely on catchy phrases to put up a false bravado. Well done on that account to actor, director, and writer. I BELIEVED i didn't want to get on this guy's bad side -- if the fight scenes were unreal with the sheer number of goons he had to fight; I at least KNEW I wouldn't want to face him myself or with two maybe even three of my strongest friends. THATS how a fighter really would come across.
Good entertainment for fight fans. Good exciting fun.
7 out of 10 thank you
