Bad Acting, Poor Plot, So many continuity errors = Bad Film

Rating: 3/10 (17 May 2003)

This is a really bad film, how it did so well begs to be asked. The plot is really terrible and is not helped by the useless acting skills of Jason Statham, why will he not just use his natural London accent? He plays ex-British military, but still feels the need to add an awful American twang to his dialogue.
The plot is so stupid, even for a mindless action flick. Whereas films such as Jackie Chan's use tongue-in-cheek action, this film tries to be cool, but is laughable.
The music in the film really adds an element of pure cheese. The hip-hop beats played to car chases is really inappropriate. It works well with "The Fast and the Furious" because they have some cool vehicles, but not with a BMW being chased (really slowly) by a few Citroen police cars! The music during the "romantic" scenes is poor and makes you wonder if any of the budget was allocated to the music.

How this didn't go straight to video, we'll never know.
This film had me and my mates in stitches, it was just so bad we had to laugh.
DO NOT buy this, Rent it if you must see it, but don't say you weren't warned.
