As the subject line implies, you will either love or hate this movie. It has been said before, but this is strictly a non-stop, no-brainer shooter. DO NOT EXPECT ANY: back-story, great comedy, acting, directing or soundtrack (unless you are under 25). DO EXPECT: outrageous stunts, gratuitous violence, one-liners, carrot eating, a nerdy bad guy, babysitting and "heavy metal" at every, and I do mean EVERY, sign of action.
I am being to-the-point because the film is an action movie like no other. It was not meant to be taken seriously and delivers what it promises, shooting -- non-stop shooting. The movie has no depth and it was not meant to. If you want to see Clive Owen shoot an endless amount of bad guys, you have come to the right place!
This review is meant to be as neutral as possible; I did not enjoy the film, but you might. Again, you will either love or hate it, no in between. My girlfriend and I did stay until the end, upon her request. The best comparison I can make is if you want to watch a film adaptation of a first person shooter video game along the lines of "Max Payne" this is for you. If you want more bang for your buck, no pun intended, watch "The Bourne Ultimatum." Wait until it is out on DVD, you will enjoy it more or not feel as bad when you wasted your time. :)
