Are they serious?

"Are they serious?" was basically what was going through my head while watching this film. months before it's release, I was extremely excited about viewing it. I swear I had no idea it would be as bad as it was. I mean, when most people hear about Nicolas Cage as a hitman, they expect good things. Especially when I have never seen a bad Nicolas Cage film, though I have never had the pleasure of seeing "Ghost Rider", or "The Wicker Man", which I have heard are pretty bad. Anyway, the film is nowhere near as good as advertised.

Honestly the main flaw in this film was the plot. It was actually boring after awhile. It was good for the first twenty minutes or so, then very dull from there. There were way too many scenes about him and his Asian lover, and I frankly think they should have cut a lot of her scenes out of the film. I wouldn't have minded if they met, had a date, and moved on. Speaking of flaws, I don't know if anyone else noticed this, but a lot of the scenes were completely silent, which was quite annoying after awhile.

Maybe I am being too harsh, but that is the way I feel.
