Abominable Waste of Tme and Money

Rating: 3/10 (10 January 2009)

Thankfully I didn't pay to see this at the cinema but rented it instead.
This is the perfect example of vacuous popcorn films, with no concern for anything bar how it looks. You can forget about any semblance of a coherent plot, likable characters, or nuanced film making - it is purely visual sensation with limited originality.
If you like mindless gratuitous violence that rips off the Matrix and wastes the acting talent present, you'll love this, and going by the general rating for this tripe plenty of people do. BTW I have no problem with violent films, directors like Tarantino and Peckinpah have made some great ones, but a film being violent isn't necessarily any good.
If you prefer films that don't take the audience for granted, look elsewhere.
