Boring
Ugh. I consider this movie a total waste of time for anyone who has been to see more than 10 movies in their lifetime. That's because anyone who might have,has seen every lame trick in this movie used again and again. I don't know where to begin as the list would be too long.I prefer the real life action like Ultimate street brawls at least thats real.I liked Russell in LA Confidential and that's about it. The mere thought of him having a Best Actor trophy makes me shudder.I mean, come on-all he had to do to prepare for this role was cut out 5 hours of sleep every night. His routine with the scowling and talking raspy got so old after the first half-hour, I still ask myself why I didn't leave the theatre at any point thereafter. My bad.I will give the movie credit for the few fightscenes that came across as very brutal and somewhat epic, but these moments are basically few and far between. Sets are pretty much flawless and the costumes are well done, both of which create total believability in the environments. Ok, enough with the compliments.
