They take derring-do to a level established in movies by Schwarzenegger at his swiftest and most absurdly capable. The joy that these three performers bring to the chore is written all over the movie. It's nonsense on a major level, to be sure, but their pleasure in the work and the movie's becoming lack of self-seriousness are absolutely beguiling. No one should or will pay much attention to the plot, which involves the rescue of a kidnapped Internet whiz by some older tycoon who tried and failed to buy the hot upstart's company. Leave it at that.
Plot is but piffle here, anyway.
The major issues are pace and attitude, both of which the award-winning video director known just as McG, who also happens to be a Kalamazoo native, handles with finesse in his bow as a feature director. You'll see a music video or six folded into this movie, but McG actually makes that an asset. Tim Curry, Sam Rockwell and Crispin Glover also have choice, often surprising, bits of business. It's an immensely entertaining movie. A Columbia Pictures release.
