Are you bored? No meaning of life? Let's kill a lot of people!

Rating: 1/10 (18 July 2011)

This movie has been described as "dumb, but funny and entertaining". Well, I found not a single joke (except for the concept of cult killing people by commands of some cloth producing machinery, that was so dumb it was actually hilarious). On the other hand the movie is filled with pathetically bad CGI "action sequences" which actually make Matrix 2 and Matrix 3 to be reasonably good movies. The word is "geometry" here so we have "hero" illogically attacking in straight line (because it looks good) or full circular kill (because circle is so pretty). There is no logic, no laws of physics, no believability. In all measures this popcorn flick falls way behind very acceptable action movies like "96 hours".
Like previous movies of this particular director (Day Watch, Night Watch) the script is a mess. The former have been at least original and they have had some interesting concepts. In this case it tries to mix a lot of other movies together (Matrix, Star Wars, Casino Royale, La Femme Nikita) and pumps it with so much caffeine and adrenaline that the result is simply just a very fast moving vomit. The script really looks like a result of brainstorming of 10 years old, but it is immoral and profane beyond any limit. Seriously, there is nothing even remotely "good" in the movie. The "Postal" was similar, but "Postal" was meant as a parody and was actually funny.
What I find totally ridiculous is the message of the movie. The hero is narcissistic whining loser turning into completely amoral narcissistic bastard yet this is somewhat supposed to be seen as a "progress". Morgan, Jolie - are you serious to spread message about "helping poor in Africa" after participating is such gun porn? So what is the message of the movie really? "Are you bored? Are you not satisfied with your relationships, with you work? Don't be a pussy, lets kill a bunch of people! Good is bad and bad is fun." Yes, that is it. Seriously. There is no friendship, there is no good, there is no purpose, there is no need to cry for civil causalities: Don't be pussy and do something f%cking great for YOURSELF! I'm absolutely astonished. I seriously do hope everyone understood the message of the studio: Don't be pussy and do something evil just for fun. So start copying this movie for free and don't give these corporate bastards not a singe penny. Because you know not paying for content is evil, buy paying for that is good. But again good is boring and evil is fun! You are not pussy so you will not work in your boring job to give them your hard earned money, especially for such trash.
