Featured review
Unexpected mystery action thriller, but not very good
A lot of people left disappointed by the movie and for a very good reason: it was marketed (I just rewatched the trailer now to make sure) as an action revenge flick. You expect some good old fashioned Arnold bashing of bad guys and instead you get a "10 Little N!ggers" like mystery thriller with extra blood and gun violence. I mean, when I saw that Martini's character died, I thought "the team" would wreak havoc on those murderous cartels. I even made a mental note to title the review "No Martini, no party", but the movie was not about that at all.
Yet that is not enough to make it a bad movie, right? Certainly if it would have been a well done film, it would have stood on its own, marketing be damned. However the silly dialogues, the wooden acting, the random bunch of TV series actors (plus Sam Worthington) and the confusing editing of reality with imagined scenes, it all spoiled it for me.
And it's too bad. The actors in the cast are good actors and they deserved a better script. The story in itself is not bad either and I could enjoy some parts of the movie. Bottom line: big budget failure. The worse of it is that the action scenes were actually pretty stupid, too. The action scenes!!
