An average movie

Honestly, I wasn’t sure what to expect from this flick but since I have a weak spot for Gene Hackman and Owen Wilson, I thought I might as well check it out. In fact, it was really surprising to see Owen Wilson in an action flick (at the time, he was still trying some different genres but it wouldn’t last for long eventually), I thought it was not bad at all after all. Indeed, instead of his usual comedy, Owen Wilson tried out a good old action movie and even though it was rather tricky to take him seriously, I thought he actually pulled it off quite well, at least, that’s my opinion. On the other hand, Gene Hackman did pretty much the same thing he did in most of his movies, the grumpy leader, but he did it very well as usual (Such a shame the guy has retired, I seriously miss this great thespian). Anyway, a part from that, honestly, it is a rather standard action feature with one of those rather preposterous plot but I thought it was rather well done and fairly entertaining. To conclude, even though it is nothing amazing whatsoever, I think it was still a rather decent action flick and I think it is actually worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
