oh, dear

Rating: 1/10 (5 March 2011)

No one really expects action films to believable, right? Of course not. They're meant to be fast-paced and make the audience say "whoa" and holler in excitement while watching.
So why do they so often insist on attempting to be deep? Especially when they do so poorly at it? Lo, Fate! Take Control of Your Destiny! Did you catch all the Greek mythology references? Lachesis, Atropos, and Clotho, spinning, weaving, and snipping the thread of Life? Good for you, you can now feel proud of yourself for being as Deep as the creators of this dreck. And, just for an extra dose of adolescent pretension, lots of swear words delivered in a deadly serious manner, from the opening humdrum introduction to humdrum Wesley, through endless ridiculous plot-twists and special effects, to his final "philosophical" pronouncement: "This is me taking control of my life. What the (eff) have you done with your life lately?" Honestly, was this written by a 14-year-old?
