Warning: very mild spoilers ahead.
This movie tries to be a comedy, an action film with tough guys, and a love story and it fails spectacularly at everything.
Its love story is very sketchy and it never brings to fruition because main characters are not developed enough (not to mention that main women characters are in their thirties), and we are not given enough background. As a comedy it fails because there are very few good jokes and others just make you shrug. Its action part is probably the worst even though it's the essence of the film. As a viewer you never get any sense of danger and you never really root for characters, because shootouts look way too toyish and even actors do not pretend that they are even remotely scared for their lives and let me warn you that there are many very graphical deaths with brains literally splattered on characters' faces.
Most of the time actors look convincing, however the source material is too shallow and too unbelievable to resonate with you.
This could have been an average action movie in the 80s. In 2016 it just fails to deliver. You may skip it safely - don't waste your time.
