| User ReviewjameswillThis movie was amazing a lot of action and teamwork I really like it but I was mad about the way they ended it I was like they have to becoming out with a part 2 ending it that way |
| User ReviewImJustSayinMy overall take is that the movie was ultimately unsatisfying, because, as Jameswill noted in his review, there is no finality to it, and you're left hanging in anticipation of a needed sequel. It just stops right in the middle of the action. I thought it must have been filmed to insert an intermission there, but no, it was the end. There is a great action packed opening sequence followed a storyline that ultimately comes together though you will have to suspend your sense of logic. After a while, there was just one tedious and repetitive action scene after another, and after a while you felt like enough was enough. What I found particularly unnerving was on several occasions when our heroes were seconds away from being caught, they paused to have relaxed casual conversations that lasted far too long with the bad guys hot on their heels. It reminded me of a scene in an opera where the hero rushes to save his mother who is just about to be burned at the stake and stops to sing a 10 minute aria, sharing with the audience how much he misses his mother and needs to race to save her life. On the plus side, there were great pyro-technics, double and triple crosses, and much blood and guts though little romance. As they say, if this is the sort of thing you like, you'll like this sort of thing, as long as you're okay with having to wait for the sequel if there ever is one, to find out what happens at the end of this saga. And by the way, I have searched to find out if a sequel is in the making and have found nothing to indicate that it is. |
| User ReviewKaarsboHorrible acting, terrible plot, and a way to big focus on bad action. The only savning grace is Ryan Philippe. |
| User ReviewMichaelTeneryThis movie was terrible. Every gun had unlimited ammunition. At one point the supposedly decorated delta force leader shoots at a wall. I counted something like 44 shots with a handgun. Whenever the guy pops his head out he just shoots at the wall missing him. After 44 shots there are about 4 bullet holes in the wall. Then later he goes back up that same stairwell and there are no holes at all. This whole thing is like that. Somehow, inexplicably a female sharp shooter is carrying around two sabers because the daughter of the happens to be a fencer. Even the daughter being a fencer she is quickly disarmed and is going to die until she is saved by the son of the delta force guy. So much effort to setup a ridiculous scene and then it is just ended stupidly. Much like the way the film ends, stupidly with six people holding his wife/girlfriend for payback and the delta force leader starts a fight that we don't even see end when they can easily just kill her. This whole thing is like that. Ridiculous setup with no payoff but stupidity and nonsense. |
