Graderings en resensies

This movie should been WAY better. Obviously money was spent on making it beautiful, not interesting. Jason Stratham is one of my favorite actors, but he could take acting lessons from Donald Sutherland who had 15 min of screen time and was the absolute best. Ben Foster just wasn't up to this. Don't get me wrong, i love actIon movies, love flash-bang-bang, but not when it's the whole movie. Even the sex was boring, like MTV. A few clever plots and script twists just failed to ignite this movie past okay.

They should have just kept this movie and never made the sequel. I regret watching the sequel, unrealistic action and plot circumstances in the sequel. This one is a little more interesting, also as far as his moves and cleverness goes.

Where are the cops in this film? Broad daylight urban mayhem and not a siren to be heard. Otherwise action and story is good. Haven't seen the original yet with Charles Bronson... Bet it's good.
