Blasting Action with an unlikeley surprise
What was the surprise? Well, I went to the theatre expecting adrenaline, adventure and action... and little else. But I was pleasantly surprised, both by the storyline and the decent performances of the actors. Diesel is an unusual spy -- super only in that he's natural and does it HIS way. "If you're going to send someone to save the world, make sure they like it the way it is..." or something like that. He may not like the world he is saving but he takes doing his mission to the extreme... and that is obviously the part that his character, x-sports freak that he is, gets the most out of.It may not be an intellectual thriller or the most amazing story you could ever imagine... but it is pure entertainment and don't try and take it for anything else. Bravo.
