OK, there are one or two clichés which the excellent talents of Jason Stratham manage to mask, and it is a very gung-ho sort of movie. But then, you know what you are going to get in a Jason Stratham film.....
I'd rate this higher if it wasn't for the terrible editing of the action scenes. Too much watching MTV by the director, far too much unnecessary fast cutting. I had no idea what was going on in most of the action scenes. Mostly it was dark, everyone was wearing Redneck check, and there was no time to grasp what was supposed to be happening. And if you aren't watching how Stratham is taking down the bad guys, what's the point of watching this sort of movie? Bad call, Director, whoever you are. (I couldn't be arsed to find out, it was so uninspiring).
We're in the last scenes of the movie atm as I write this, and the clichés are coming so thick and fast that I am losing the will to watch. Still, overall a movie worth a viewing when the wife and kids have gone to bed and settled down, and you can pour yourself a decent pint and put your feet up.
