That is a shame then, that you are only missing out on a fine movie. Not sure what the critics wanted out of this movie. I thought it was really good. Adrian Brody is one of the finest actors of his craft, his part here is no exception. His work here was well done. So you never watched the Pianist? Summer of Sam, etc.? This movie here was a historical fiction. I would not say it is overdone, or under-done. Good fight scenes, a believable tyrant, and two good heroes. The scenery was good. Sure it was done in a "Hollywood" vein, but much of other countries hit movies are also. Hollywood happened to start it all. Could have been Berlinwood, Scicilywood, tokyowood, Sydneywood, or Stalinwood. Who gives a sh*t?
Point is that there are excellent, mediocre, or poorly (>$) made movies being made. I enjoyed this movie. Jackie Chan is awesome, even the extra's deserve mention.
