Strong and Moving!

A different way of telling a story

Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

For a while as the movie started and proceeded for 15 minutes I thought it was not going to pick up speed. Then i got into the groove and started imagining like my hero. I am familiar with his moves since I like to do the same. I an sure there are lot like me as well. Then came the real part when he is called out for an assignment. Some of it reminded me it was a movie because the impossible were happening but in a humorous way. I was able to settled with that score. As the movie proceeded I thought he will fall in love with the chick but he was a true professional to the core. He knew what was to happen next and so he was well prepared like Sherlock Holmes. He is honest, humble and simple and that was what attracted the war lords. Mysteriously he was always saved at the last second. That was awesome direction by the director. I guess the hero knows it since it is his book of action. Audience like me were momentarily worried about our hero's safety. The female operative is stunning and her good looks did not seem to mesmerize our hero. I must say it was a fun filling movie and quite relaxing . I give it a 7

Full disclosure: In my frank opinion, these types of Sandleresque films as a whole get scored way too low. They do not aim high, but usually hit the mark quite accurately.This film is, simply put, fun. There was not a moment where I got bored or thought about switching to something else. When judging films one must consider the films intentions. of course this isn't Schindler's List or LotR: Return of the king, but what it aims to do, it does wonderfully. While I was watching this film there was not a moment where I thought 'This is boring' or 'I want to switch to something else'.If you want a lighthearted, yet action packed comedy/action movie, this one fits there perfectly.

"Sam Larson" (Kevin James) is an aspiring writer who desperately wants to have a spy novel he is working on to get published. Although he has a vivid imagination he depends on a friend named "Amos" (Ron Rifkin) to give him inspiration for his book due to the fact that Amos once worked as a clerk for the Israeli intelligence service and has plenty of knowledge on the subject of espionage. Then one day Amos tells him a story which so excites Sam that he immediately puts every detail down in his book even though Amos had sworn him to secrecy. However, no sooner does his book hit the internet then Sam is abducted by a Venezuelan revolutionary named "El Toro" (Andy Garcia) who believes him to be an infamous assassin known as "the Ghost" and orders him to kill the President of Venezuela. To make matters even worse, he is subsequently abducted by a Russian narcotics dealer named "Anton Masovich" (Andrew Howard) who instructs him to kill El Toro. Not long after that he is abducted once again by a general loyal to the Venezuelan President who demands that he kill Anton. And all three men mean business. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this was a decent comedy which contained plenty of action from start to finish. Although the acting wasn't great by any means, the plot had several twists and turns along the way which kept things interesting for the most part. Likewise, having a beautiful actress like Zulay Henao certainly didn't hurt either. In short, this was a somewhat entertaining film which I believe some viewers may enjoy and all things considered I rate it as slightly above average.

I watched Mall Cop awhile back and it was terrible, so when I saw on Netflix telling me that I would like this movie and suggested rating of 4.5 star, I decided to give this movie a chance.Sadly, it was just as bad and as sh*tty as Mall Cop.The story line was generic as a slice of stale bread, and so predictable that I was bleeding out of my eyes by the end of the movie.The poor pathetic "action" scenes were so boring that I sat there dumb founded at how retarded it was.The best "action" scene was 1 hr and 29 minutes into the f*cking movie, which was literally the last 3 minutes of the movie. Even the freaking ending was so predictable that I was shaking my head in disbelief at how generic it was.I wasted pretty much 1.5 hours of my life in which I could've been way more productive like taking a sh*t in my bathroom or giving my dog a bath than watching this 0 star movie.All in all, don't bother watching it. If you hated Mall Cop, you'll hate this one too.No offense to Kevin James, but he should probably stop making these "action" comedy movies. There is no action, there is no comedy, it all leaves the audience brain dead and wishing they had sucked sh*t out of the toilet with a straw instead.
