    Wow! This was a quadruple hit on the bad-things-about-movies list. Namely: No story, poor editing, feeble acting, repetitive chase scenes. The first twenty-thirty minutes of this movie were completely unnecessary. In fact the movie should have started when the two lead actors first met, and not before. This flick reminded me of the movie “the International” for the same bad reasons. The director supposes that if he is murky enough with a story, then the audience will be intrigued or interested. As always, of course, the bad guys with their state-of- the-art guns can blow out every window of a car or residence without leaving a scratch on the good guys. At one point the good guy is driving a CANARY YELLOW truck backwards, in a narrow roadway but is absolutely invisible to the bad guys (who look strangely “not unlike” Al-Qaeda terrorists) The acting is tired; the action is riddled with hand-held cameras ad-nausea. There are far too many holes in this movie’s plot or lack thereof. And for an action movie that was 120 minutes long there may have been 20 minutes of action. And finally at the end of the movie when things are explained to the audience (In standard action-movie style), you can’t understand a word the leads are saying!! You would have needed closed-captioning to figure out the whole point of the movie. There should be a warning to audiences for this kind of drivel. Like the rides at the Ex: you need to be this “stupid” to enter the show. (And have and IQ gauge pointing to zero...) I was going to walk out but I was too numb. If you plan on attending this movie, bring Javex for your eyes to ease the pain.
