While it's not going to win any major awards, this movie is sure to please action fans and others looking for a decent night out at the movies. I enjoyed watching this movie over the 2nd Hunger games movie; catching fire.
If you like those movies with ex special forces, ex military, ex special agent or someone who's just a solo destroyer, this is the movie for you. Jason Statham is so underrated and needs to be more known for his acting in these great action movies he's in.
The story is a simple base line and that's all you really need for having such a good actor; Jason Statham. Great film overall! A terrific action thriller. Although Broker does his best to make peace, but the crack head moms drug lord brother James Franco is called in to shake things up. A pretty descent film, I like Jason Statham just does not play a one noted action hero, but also plays a concern parent pretty well also. Winona Ryder and James Franco are good as the bad guys. It also some intense fight scenes and shootout scenes.
A Really Good Action Film Can you guess what made me go see this movie? Yes, it was Winona. I loved watching her in this film, she was great and looks awesome. I have also decided that James Franco is for real. He can play nice guys, mean guys and doped up drug dealers with ease. I never miss one of his films. So now let's talk about Jason Statham. Well this IS a Jason Statham movie so you know how it's going to end, I won't tell you any of the plot.
I am not a real big fan of him but he did very well in this film. The action scene's were very intense and the cinematography was excellent, you could definitely feel Sylvestor Stallone's influence. This is a must see film if you like action films, adults only though, there is some serious fowl language, definitely not for children.
I give it 8 stars out of Unfortunately though, it was released during the very competitive Thanksgiving weekend and will have a tough time holding up against other big budget films. Its got the action you want, a believable story to keep the momentum going and a handful of good actors to support it. I will admit, some of his movies I think about giving up at the half way mark, but this was one of his better films for sure.
Transporter, Homefront, Hummingbird would be my favorite Statham movies not including the Guy Ritchie classics of course. But, to be fair, they have been making this specific type of film since the 70s and I enjoyed them then, I enjoy them now. No I will not mislead you or tell you untruths. This is not an original story. It is a specific story which, depending on the actors and the direction, either works or does not work.
Films like this never make it to the Oscars and often they don't do well in reviews either. But they can be fun. Sly is too slick and too smart to let any property sit idle, so he "slyly" sorry picked Statham to play the lead.
