jcjccaz Curving bullets (obviously never shot a real gun with real bullets), heard of physics, being put in a tank that heals you faster (But they don't tell others so they can heal), women with arms the size of skewers (And they beat people. Those blows would do no damage to a person with their adrenaline pumped, think sports and her punch stopping a hockey player or football player going straight through you), loom orders, diversity for diversity sake and numerous other things that these 21 century, and late 20th century, movies have become. This movie and the people in it are awful and are terrible actors, but as per usual, they force the people on you and because you haven't seen the true great, well trained actors, you accept them as good and they are not, accept for maybe Terrence Stamp You always hear about reality in these movies, but they have become so unrealistic it insults your intelligence. And if these people, which they are not, thank God, are protecting us, I will take care of myself. Lastly, assassins rarely use guns and never, never put civilians in harm's way, well, very, very rarely. They look like the population of their target and may be fat, bald, old, young, all kinds of shapes and sizes. I will take the old days with John Wayne and his boys and they were real and family men and life and the traditions of America came first. Don't want to believe it, John Wayne captured the KGB AGENTS that were sent to assassinate him and and turned them to Americans from communists. LOOK AT THIS>>>>>>> Military.com How John Wayne Got Rid of the KGB AGENTS Hired to Kill Him. Read this about real men and forget about Morgan Freeman with two earrings and the rest. If we had these guys back when there would be no America, that's why these men and the men before them were in charge, UNDERSTAND. So when reviewing here don't knock a President and Capitalise God The real men out there now are not, I repeat, not on the movie screen yelling and screaming. Tell me about the article!!! Thanks for reading. God Bless. James
Re Pand I would not spend my time watching this movie. It's bad and "silly".
Richie-67-485852 Action and adventure teamed up with good story-telling is what you can expect here. Its not perfect but it does take us to the edge pretty well and manage to keep us there. Furthermore, the story is not far-fetched as many people take medications when in reality they can and should handle their pain. Why? They need to explore beyond the pain where the answers of who they are and why they are here are to be found. They threw in a twist or two so pay attention and enjoy how they have taken the fine art of killing and the reasons for it to new levels. Have a finger snack available (popcorn, sunflower seeds etc.) so you don't nail bite. I wouldn't mind a sequel if they do a nice job on it but you never know about Hollywood as they tend to ruin a good thing for the love of money. What they don't know is that quality and good effort will bring its reward if you have faith. Perhaps Hollywood needs more faith? Enjoy
nzswanny I enjoyed this film and I almost got as far as calling this the perfect action film as I was typing the summary of my review because of how the movie includes everything that an action film fan hungers on. When action fans watch basic action movies they are commonly left unsatisfied with the movie because of how it is exactly the same as the last action film they watched and how those are usually missing the ingredients that they want in their steak and instead just rely on grease. Action films want bones in their steak, and what this film fully succeeds in is giving us the brutality of bones in our steak instead of overdosing on the cheesiness of grease. The film still has a bit of grease but it is enjoyable grease: the brutality of the violence is created intentionally over the top and is used as an advantage for some dark humoured laughs. This means that although we still have the cheesiness of a normal action movie it serves as a proper ingredient that mixes well with the brutality in it, and instead of just relying on cheap, recycled and cliché explosions it relies on bringing us some hilarious scenes of brutal, bloody, gory torture, and the mean- spirited cheesiness of this is what every action film fan lusts for. If you are one of those die- hard action film fans then this better get on your watchlist or you will be surely missing out.
