Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
... View MoreLack of good storyline.
... View MoreThere are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
... View MoreI didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
... View MoreWatching this movie, you get the nagging feeling that the filmmakers were just going through the motion of creating a generic action film and could care less about presenting anything new on the screen.To say the bad guys were one-dimensional and derivative would be the understatement of the year. Jessica Alba's character was painful to watch. A school teacher with martial arts skills out of the blue like that? I don't think so. Tommy Lee Jones could've played his role in his sleep. As a matter of fact, he WAS asleep since he was shown in his pajamas. Skip this turkey and look for action elsewhere.
... View MoreNice action-packed movie, but it can't match the prequel. The storyline is interesting, but not very credible. Where its predessor was well-thought, this one feels like its made in a hurry. For the rest its like an average action movie.
... View MoreWhen you want to watch a movie with Jason statham, out at looking for some action. But this does not mean you don't mind if the story of the film be totally bullshit..Unfortunately the director and the writer of this movie are not aware of this fact, and they come up with a movie with totally poor content. If a 5-year- old girl wants to make a story, she will probably have better logic. The sort is unbelievably stupid.. This is that sort of movies that that just pay some famous actors and actress to make film more actractive.. in fact aside from famous actors others factors involved in the movie are completely ridiculous. The story is totally nonsense...even action scenes are mostly laughable.. The writer had an attempt to make a contract killer a good person who cares about others and this exacerbates the situation.
... View MoreI don't know if it was down to a timing limit or whether the fast pace needed to be there throughout the film, but I have to agree with those who say its a bit unbelievable from a plot standpoint. I feel like the whole establishing of a relationship between Statham's character (Bishop) and Alba's (Gina) happens too quickly. They go from having a mutual problem to sleeping together to boy friend and girlfriend within minutes. If this was down to a timing restriction, then I do believe that it was dealt with fairly well and in an acceptable way. I do, however, wish that the relationship could have had more time in the beginning.From an action standpoint I think Statham excelled at fulfilling his wish to make it seem as if Bishop was working with his environment. Not once did I believe that someone of his skill set wouldn't be able to get out of the position he was in. The action aspect of the movie provides a lot of it, and it does bring one to the edge of their seat, even if there are no mishaps. So perhaps maybe a few should have been included, so that an audience member is left with a firm belief that nothing can go wrong. A little mishap would have increased the levels of suspense, like perhaps when vacuuming to the bottom of the pool Bishop slips up and one handle doesn't attach properly. Ultimately I enjoyed this movie and it provided a fairly decent story.
