The movie was bad. I mean really bad! The stroy was weak, the players sucked and the cinematography was a fiasko! I am very surprised and disappointed because, i was hoping a better movie from Jason Statham. Well Jessica Alba is very beautiful but she'll never be a good actress. So...
shareSince when has Statham ever been about story? This was a good action film. If you went in expecting Shakespeare then it's your fault you didn't enjoy the movie.
shareWell, i don't need Sheakspear for a good story. Fast and Furious has a good story. Even, Expendables has a good story. But please, this is not a good action. It was equal to Transporter 3. It was a cheap romance a little bit of action.
shareDude I'm a huge fan of Expendables and everybody associated with it, but you there is no way you are saying it had more of a story than this are you serious? You can't possibly have LESS of a story than the expendable movies. It literally just action the entire time ,which is why some die hards even couldn't get into it. At least Statham attempts to have a sort of loose plot connecting all the action in the movie.
sharealba looked like a whore
Yeah, especially how they left their clothes on during the love scene, I'm pretty sure they had one foot of the floor at all times.
Irony is like goldy or bronzy, but it's made of iron.
I'll have to watch this then, I liked Transporter 3 (not a lot, but I liked it)
shareJason Statham is now in the "Has Been" realm, for every 5 films he now makes. MAYBE one is ok..shame.
shareI sooo wanted to love this. I'm a huge JS fan but this movie was a disgrace, I posted in another thread that halfway through I realized that it was a parody with every trope and cliché imaginable along the lines of a more violent and less silly Austin Powers movie. Folks were laughing out loud the entire time.
shareWe weren't supposed to laugh? Ooops!
Ephemeron.
I agree. This is one of Jason's worse films. I think he's starting to do "paycheck" movies. He must have shot and killed over 100 men! AND the guys he shot were terrible guards, bodyguards, elite fighters as portrayed in this film. They couldn't fight, couldn't 'hit the side of barn' and even Jessica got the better of a couple of them. Also no chemistry between them, an unlikely pairing of of these 'high-paid' actors. I will not recommend this to anyone.
shareThis was a poorly written story. I don't blame Jason Statham. He is a really good action character, but you can tell the writers were just in a hurry to get something into production. One of the major themes about the "mechanic" was how he so meticulously plans out his hits, but in the end of this movie, he just gets on board ship and shoots everyone because the henchmen are all incompetent I guess. And why does he go through so much and risk so much to help a woman that he knew for about 10 seconds? Did the screen writers ever come back to work from their strike they had several years ago? It does not appear so.
shareMy thoughts exactly. 10 minutes into this movie and I thought it was garbage. Some random woman shows up, asks for a band-aid and suddenly has to be rescued. Next thing you know these two are dancing and banging. What???
He can manage to pull off all these amazing kills (somehow in the span of hours) and yet he can't kill a bunch of nobodies on a boat the first time around? He does it the second, so what was the point of this movie?
Do they even care about story when they craft together a script in about five days?
there was a story?
so many movies, so little time
none was needed of course but they fvck3d that up by pretending it did.
that useless homestory after the first action sequence which in itself was nearly ok.
the people who made this film should go street sweeping or something, less people'd get hurt.
I was looking for escapism and all I got was wasted time....it'd have been more productive if I'd just gone outside and smoked....which is what I'm gonna do now.
Dammit, Jason.
