An average movie

Nowadays, I have Netflix and Popcorn and not only I have since then an endless selection or movies to choose from but, as a result, I have become slightly more picky regarding the movies I watch. Before, I used to watch pretty much anything as long as it was starring one or two actors I was interested in and, as a result, I would sometimes end up watching some really obscure features. This movie was a perfect example. First of all, before watching a movie directed by Renny Harlin, you should know you won't get a masterpiece but his movies are usually a guilty pleasure of mine. This time, he gave us a really preposterous action movie but this ridiculousness is actually inherent to the genre. What really stroke me was the similarities with 'Die Hard with a Vengeance'. Basically, the damned thing was almost a cheap remake. On the bright side, I must say that  it was rather well directed with some cool action scenes. Furthermore, John Cena did a decent job. I mean, he was never as badass as Bruce Willis was back in the days but he still managed to give a convincing performance. To conclude, it was a rather generic action flick and I don’t it is really worth a look, except maybe if you are a huge fan of this genre.
