a real stinker

Rating: 1/10 (7 July 2006)

Maybe i was just in an extra critical mood when i saw this movie, but i think its just terrible; bad acting all around, almost incomprehensible story line. This movie is another heavily matrix influenced film; over the top shootouts, high wire karate scenes. The original matrix was innovative and thought provoking this movie is a wannabe .
The characters were one dimensional and unlikeable. The development of the characters seemed silly and contrived.
This is another example of Hollywood abandoning logic, reason, storytelling, plot, and good characters, in exchange for big guns explosions, and special effects, special effects, special, effects.
If you are a fan of; The Fast and the Furious, The Blade movies, and Tomb Raider. This movie will probably be right up your alley.
on the other hand if your looking for a film with some intelligence and maybe an interesting story, look else where.
