Stop taking movies like this seriously!


I can't help but laugh when i see people strip down the movie, because of all the "unrealistic stuff". Jesus.... you people should never be allowed to watch such a movie again anyhow.

It is supposed to be like that! What did you even expect from seeing the trailer lol.

This was super fun, over the top ridiculous action with the wonderful Salma Hayek as the heroine. Imo it's so underrated.... i know movies like this will never get top ratings, but 4,9... Trust me, if you like these kinds of movies you will love this. But please don't expect it to be realistic :-D

Then they shouldn't market it as a serious action thriller. Even as a tongue-in-cheek, piece of schlock, B/drive-in type movie, it was lame and boring with too many glaring plot holes and bad script decisions. Too much suspension of disbelief required. I was disappointed. This could and should have been so much better and cooler if it was done Kill Bill style which I was kind of expecting when I saw the trailer. Know wonder the script sat on the shelves for so long. Colombiana was way cooler than this.

I liked how she could stuff a giant bag of money under the floorboards of a 100-year old slumlord apartment building, and then later stuff a few bodies down there, too!

And of course, lots of machine guns behind the couch, in the oven, whatever....heh...

The big kicker of course - in movies, no one has a sense of smell or suffers eye irritation from smoke.

Wild Wild West was super fun with over the top ridiculous action with the wonderful Salma Hayek as the heroine. This on the other hand was an incoherant mess.
