An average movie

Even though I did like 'Taken', I still think it was rather overrated. Still, I was rather curious to see Pierre Morel's following directing effort, even though, this time, his new flick didn't get the same positive reception. Well, to my surprise, I actually really enjoyed this movie, at least the 1st hour. I mean, the plot was rather pedestrian and even though the action scenes were decent, it was nothing I haven't seen 100 times before. In fact, the one thing I really enjoyed was Charlie Wax. Indeed, JohnTravolta was already pretty bad-ass in his previous movie ('The Taking of Pelham 123') but, here, he definitely took it to the next level. Seriously, the guy kicked some serious ass and he made me laugh so many times. Unfortunately, during the last 30 minutes, the whole thing lost some steam and it was pretty obvious that the makers got lazy as the ending was just a succession of endless and boring action scenes and some sentimental crap. It was too bad because, before that, it was a really entertaining action flick with Travolta completely stealing the show with some awesome one-liners. Anyway, to conclude, even though it was nothing really amazing, it was still a fun action flick, much better than I expected it to be, and it is definitely worth a look.
