1. Quality

2. Summary

   OK 2.5

   Fun for the kids, tedious for the rest of us. Lots of action and special effects make a nonsensical plot tolerable. The movie invokes a sense of pride over an elite paramilitary group with roots in the Army, now transplanted to fight evil forces and crazed people turned to the dark side.

4. Acting

   OK 2.5

   Purely driven by the scripts given to them. Even Dennis Quaid couldn’t manage to stand out in this film. However, there was a bright-spot with Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje as “Heavy Duty” who came across with a sort of Chris Rock like sense of humor.

5. Male Stars OK 2.5

6. Female Stars OK 2.5

7. Female Costars OK 2.5

8. Male Costars OK 2.5
