2. Summary

   Good 3.0

   Danny, ex-special ops dude (Jason Statham), is forced out of retirement when he finds out his his buddy and mentor Hunter (Robert DeNiro) is taken captive. What ensues is a fairly typical action flick that entertains thoroughly, but doesn’t necessarily add anything you haven’t seen before. This isn’t a bad thing. Sometimes, you just want to see a good action film, and that’s what you’ll get. Tough characters, great action, guy-gets-girl, and plenty of thrills.

4. Acting

   Good 3.0

   Jason Statham continues with his tried-and-true brand of the tough guy with a British accent. This time, he’s right at home amongst a bunch of other tough-guy brits. The only exception is Robert DeNiro, who actually has more of a minor role in the whole affair, but is nonetheless enjoyable to see.
