An average movie

I remember it quite well, when this movie was released, there was quite some buzz about it. Indeed, apparently, it was an amazing action flick so I had some rather high expectations concerning this flick but, to be honest, I wasn’t really blown away by the whole thing. I mean, sure, All 3 leads did a good job, the directing was fine and the action scenes were pretty good, so what was the problem then ? The main issue I had is that the whole thing was jsut so preposterous and senseless that I never really cared about the characters or what they were going through. I mean, basically, I was looking at the whole thing and I was thinking "Wow! That looks good!!" but that was about it, I’m afraid. Concerning Monica Bellucci, I always had a weak spot for this actress but, unfortunately, most of her US productions have been rather disappointing and her career never really took off there. Anyway, to conclude, even though I had a really hard time to understand what was supposedly so great about this flick, I have to admit that it was still fairly entertaining and it is worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
