An average movie

To be honest, I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but since I have a weak spot for Sylvester Stallone, I thought I might as well give it a try. In fact, something pretty weird happened with this flick. Indeed, for some reasons, I actually really loved the intro. Basically, you get to see Stallone's back in close up and slow-motion with some really kick-ass music. The whole thing lasted maybe only 1 minute but I thought it looked just downright amazing. It's just really funny because after those 60 seconds, I barely enjoyed anything for the rest of the movie and I thought it was terribly predictable and completely forgettable. It’s too bad because the whole thing had some potential and it sounded like a perfect project for Stallone. I haven’t seen the original version starring Michael Caine, it does look awesome so I will definitely check it out at some point, but this remake was just one of those weak and underperforming action flicks that Stallone used to make before his come-back with ‘Rocky Balboa’ in 2006. To conclude, I have seen worse but I think it was still a disappointing feature and I don’t think it is really worth a look.
