An average movie

Since this movie had a rather lame reputation, I didn’t expect much but, to be honest, I thougth it was not so bad at all. Basically, pretty much like 'Jumper' which was released a year before, they obviously tried to surf on the current super-hero wave but it didn't work out really well and the planned sequel was cancelled. Still, I actually liked the directing, the movie really looked good and Hong Kong was also a great location. Furthermore, the cast was all right and they all delivered some decent performances. Unfortunately, the story turned out to be really weak. Basically, it was some kind of mix of a little bit of 'Akira', a little bit of 'Total Recall' and lots of 'Heroes' but it was just really unfocused and plain average. There were also so many plot holes and,  as a result, it was sometimes rather difficult to make sense of the whole story. Eventually, it was just an average plot which happened to be really messy and it's too bad since the whole thing actually really had some potential. Anyway, to conclude, it was nothing mindblowing whatsoever but thanks to the interesting directing, the whole thing was still fairly entertaining and I still think is worth a look, especially if you like such brainless super-hero flicks.
