Pretty slick and entertaining


It's all a bit contrived but I was pleasantly surprised with the story, the pace and the fights. Wish they'd have gone with a Russian speaking actress for the Mirren role though, the accented English was too distracting.

I don't know...watching it now and seems to be...I'd say really similar, but its friggin cookie cutter 'exactly' like a number of movies that came before it.
You know what this genre needs? You ever see the "Walk Hard" Dewey Cox story? The parody of the musician bio?
It seems like this type of film has been done so much that they're hitting the exact same beats...the only difference seems to be the actresses =P

Good choreography here though, that's for sure. Maybe there's some twist or something coming...I'll keep watching.

It could have been much better if they hadn't edited the way they did. The continued jumping back was annoying. That kind of gimmick works in some movies but here it would have been better to have just had a linear movie. Would have also allowed them to have cut about 20 minutes from the length.
