Unnecessarily Convoluted.


This movie might have been more enjoyable if it had straight, A-B, linear storytelling. There was no reason for the jumping around. Or if you're going to do that, at least let the audience understand who the characters are and why they matter. Have you ever watched a movie and fell asleep during one part then woke up and watched it til the end? And then you have somebody explain the part that you missed? That's what this felt like. Confused all the way through, then Ewan McGregor says "this guy was this and that guy was that, so on and so on"... and all of it was pointless.

The only reason to watch this was Gina Carano. The big name actors served no purpose. I wanted to see a badass action flick with a chick that can actually back it up. Like the female equivalent of The Transporter. Oh well...

At least Gina Carano kicked some serious ass in Fast & Furious 6.

Facts are meaningless. You could use facts to prove anything that's even remotely true!

When will people realise that 'you should stick to Transformers' is neither a witty nor an original rebuttal, less still the criticisms it counters are intelligent and the subject as fatuous as any generic Hollywood blockbuster?
