An average movie

Honestly, I find it rather difficult to judge this movie. I mean, on one hand, half of it is complete garbage and there is no way I actually should say anything positive about the damned thing but, on the other hand, there was in fact a lot of cool stuff going on and I have to admit that the damned thing was actually quite entertaining. Take the introduction for example : it is completely over the top, it doesnโ€™t add anything really substancial to the plot but, damned, it was really amazing to behold and definitely one of the most impressive intro I have ever seen. This scene pretty much sums up the whole thing: it is a rather generic action flick with a rather preposterous plot and, from time to time, you get some really unexpected and even more ridiculous scenes to spice up the whole thing. So, you get this intro, and this notorious scene when Halle Berry shows up her boobs for no reasonable reasons (on the other hand she got 500,000($) good reasons to do it) and this totally gratuitous bit when Hugh Jackman is getting some blowjob while hacking some computer with at least 10 witnesses. It pretty much sums up the level of this demented flick and, to make things better (or worse), you have John Travolta giving in one of his typical over-the-top bad guy performance so event though I think it is worth a look, it is definitely an acquired taste.
