Cute, but extremely predictable


I knew exactly (and I do mean EXACTLY) where the story was going, and so did the 4 friends with whom I watched it, as soon as Defendor stumbled upon Kat and the corrupt cop in the car.

I can't bring myself to dislike a film so good-natured and well-acted, but it was pretty obvious for me where all of this would end up. Anyone else felt the same?

Yes. Terrifically acted, very professionally produced. But totally predictable. Even still though, I think this could be a huge cult hit.

We're about to make film history.. Right here, on videotape.

You're calling the movie predictable but then you want one of the most cliched moves in movie history - DURRR I WAS SECRETLY WEARING A KEVLAR VEST - to pop up in the end?

Truly ponderous.

I thought it was a braver move to have him actually die in the end. It wasn't something you would expect.

Actually it was exactly what I expected. I found it quite obvious the only good ending for the movie. And it was good.

On the other hand, movies are not all made of silly twists. The aim of a good movie is not that idiots can go "oh I totally knew what was going to happen" or "wow didn't see that one coming!"
