1. Quality

2. Summary

   OK 2.5

   If you want to see every action star from the past 20 years blowing people and stuff off the face of the earth for less than 2 hours, then go see this movie. Otherwise, consider this movie expendable.

   The cast is stacked with over-the-hill guys who are still huge, and are playing the same characters they’ve played in all their other movies: Stallone, Statham, Li, Lundgren, Roberts, Schwarzenegger, Willis, Crews, and Rourke …

   And some tough guys trying to cross over from the world of MMA and professional wrestling: Couture, Nogueira, and Austin.

   This movie’s storyline is so thin it makes Kate Moss look fat.

   But – YAY – there are lots of explosions, some cool marshal arts, and lots of guns … LOTS of guns.

4. Acting

   The guys make it work. The female lead’s performance couldn’t keep up with the guys’.

6. Female Stars Barely OK 2.0

7. Female Costars Good 3.0

8. Male Costars Good 3.0

10. Film

    OK 2.5

    I wasn’t a huge fan of the camerawork — it was very similar to the latest “Bourne” movie, but it moved faster so made me kind of nauseous.
