Like I don't seriously get why all the bad reviews, like come on it was just a movie, you all don't Know what it takes to come up with something like this.

This one a lot older than the phone only movie that was released last year. Therefor I couldn't remember much of the original, but it didn't actually matter .

This turns it up to 11 to say the least the action part. There is even a Heat like shootout - not as good as the one Michael Mann did, but close enough. There are many action and stunt scenes then ... but also a lot more comedy it feels like ... at least the "bad" brother seems way more relatable than I remember him being in the original. Doesn't mean he is without flaws ... and craziness ... but Jake plays him with such charisma that you can't help but root for him too.

It's all fun and games then ... well until the last third of the movie. And it reminded me a bit of the switch Bad Boys 2 took ... it was such a fun movie ... and then it went ... I think ballistic is the right term to use. Anyway it got way too serious .. and same is true here. It is really a shame ... morals and cliches and all ... not sure how one was supposed to end this .. but the added elements and characters would have given some opportunities for different approaches and turns ... anyway, it is what it is ... and while I was almost going to give it an 8 (if it remained "fun" - as in the term Popcorn movie was invented just for this), but was also thinking going as low as 6 ... guess a 7 is ok, even if purists may dislike I gave it the same rating that I did the original. Be aware of what you are watching and suspend your disbelief ... or if you are not a fan of Bay do not watch.

Breaking is a great movie made with a general interesting performance from the actors. There are a lot of plot holes in the movie but who cares it's just a movie. The problem seems to be one mostly of structure and pacing. It was just about an ex Veterans Who wanted to be heard because the VA refused to pay him his money. The tension builds in key moments, but doesn't sustain itself throughout the film. The elements are there, but the filmmakers don't quite have a handle on how to incorporate them into the film. The limited use of locations is very effective. Unless you're really interested in the subject matter or are fans of John Boyega or other members of the cast, it's perhaps best to wait until it reaches the small screen.
