If you're looking for a complex film with award winning performances, deep dialogues or characters with a bit of depth to them, then don't watch this. As a film, it is terrible. However, as an action movie, it's excellent. Full of gore, guns, explosions, knives, fast car chases and Jason Statham kicking ass.
There is the occasional funny line, but other than that it is just action packed. The story is a little flimsy, and disjointed in places. In fact, there are points where it seems as though bits have been included just to show more violence.
Stallones character is almost laughable in that he has tried to make his character grow as the film goes on, which is all well and good so long as it works, and i dont think it did! Statham is as close as you get to a character that the audience can really align themselves to, and that doesn't quite work either.
All in all, it is definitely not for people looking for a romantic comedy, but for people who enjoy watching knives being thrown about, people being blown in half by an RPG and Terry Crews walking through a hallway blowing people in half with one almighty shotgun!
