Terrible ,one dimensional Acting


Of all the phony movies this is not the worst. Rambo I-3. Rocky I=5. The phony plot. The phony acting, I think they made this movie in two months. Sylvester Stallone is the worst one diamensional Actor. All those stupid movies he made, At least Robert DeNero ,Al Pacino can play different roles.

LOL! I think he meant to say 2 dimensional. But whatever the case may be Sly never had much range as an actor other then shouting "Adriaaaannnn!" with a thick Brooklyn accent.

It's even worse in this film because he's supposed to be this experienced, elite spec ops guy. Yet everything he does is very poorly performed.

When he surveils his targets (May, Tomas, etc.) for instance. I thought the point of surveiling his targets undetected WAS TO BE UNDETECTED. Sly gets spotted in seconds by both May and Tomas with his severe intense staring that screams "I'm a psycho stalker!"

And the way Sly gets set up again and again by both May and Trent is really kinda ridiculous.

Watching this film all I kept thinking is HOW is Sly's character still alive being this incompetent, and WHY is there James Bond music playing in the background?

I actually like that about this movie cause they seem more like real people. I need a break from all the gross over-acting oscar winners once and a while.

Stallone's one of my favorite actors, and this is a great film in my opinion. 
