They do the game a disservice by making this film so stupid. Wahlberg wasn't the right choice for the lead, or Kunis for Mona Sax. I wanted to ignore the bad reviews but they are accurate. The supernatural aspect is dialled up and yes I know it's drug related, but that wasn't a huge part of the game. The game was a coherent storyline with extraordinary action scenes, the film has none of this. The game had a clear blueprint and the filmmaker ignored what made the game so special. A reboot would be very welcomed.

The film was surprisingly good and Harrelson throws himself into an interesting role. I had expected this to be another Super and Kick-ass clone buy it managed to have its own identity. The films budget impacts the storyline and you could sense this wanted to be a bigger film. The film is at its best when it uses the cast to full effect. The gritty style and the fun take on a well worn vigilante style hero was the right move.

The Island has Michael Bay's style all over it and a less stylish filmmaker might have delivered a coherent film. Bay tends to believe his aggressive filmmaking style is what we want but that's definitely not the truth. The film throws everything at you and that high rise action set piece demonstrates the filmmaker doesn't know how to stage a tension set piece. The cast is talented but are left with nothing. This would've been better handled by a talented filmmaker with less focus on mind numbing action. This flopped at the box office for good reason.
