Review by beauleaumail

This movie was not a bad idea. Statham always gives a good show with everything he does. The man is a serious professional. The beginning was very weak in the script. As far as the rest, I just can NOT tell if the fault lie with the direction or with the edit. Could be a little of both. Any way you look at it the movie starts out as a total Joke. The individual scenes were, too long or too short. Most movies would have made a fast montage to get the audience up to speed. I have NO idea why this was not done. Attempt to be unique. IT WAS!! Like a PURPLE glowing turd. The movie did pick up along the way. What I don't get is, this is the same guy that did Beekeeper, that was a monster of a film. I have watched it 4 times. The movie was written by 3 people and you can tell. The first half hour was torture to sit through. Once we get to the end of the film I was so divested in the people in the film the emotional parts felt stupid and phoned in. Sly has become good at most things in the industry. I have to think this was some back end promise on a contract somewhere and hopefully we will never seen anything like this again. I wait for Jason Statham in his next project. I still like the witty dialog as he kills bad guys and eagerly await the next slew of trauma ward patients that he will deliver unto us. I AM a Statham fanboy but this will be in my recycling bin after I finish this last sentence!!
