You Get What You Pay For
I enjoyed this movie very much. I do not go to an action 90's movieexpecting to see Sir Laurence Olivier. Nor do I expect Lundgren to becomethe Govenor of California. This movie is fantasy, if you pay your moneyand expect Hamlet, you are guilty of a poor investment.The movie is exactly what I thought it would and should be. Sure thereare disturbing segments, but no more so than an esoteric study such as"The Hours". Honestly, is the genre and dialog any worse than "LethalWeapon"? Are the Asian slurs and stereotypes any different than "BlackRain""You get what you pay for. . . ." and with this movie and the properrelease of reality, cinematic snobery and (yes) good taste, you will geteven more. Try not to enjoy it too much! Just remember not to take ittoo seriously. After all, do we really know Luke Skywalker can operatea futuristic X-wing fighter after quitting the dirt farmer profession?
