Samuel L Jackson plays a shadow rehash of his previous acting roles. Pretty much just get paid to say MotherFawker 200 times through this movie. It was a hard sell hes this tough hit-man.More like a tired old man dragging through the movie. When he has his signature manic laugh, I can tell he is acting. What was up with the music choice for the action sequences, it made it sound goofy. Gary Oldmans Russian dialect was pretty off, no wonder he switches to English in the beginning. Selma Hayek was fun to watch.
But overall this movie felt like, what would happen if ignorant Americans go to another country and not give a sh*t about the people or the culture or "the stupid dutch buildings"(Selma Hayek quote) The whole movie Samuel L puts a ton of innocent people in danger with complete disregard, but then has a line saying. "I cannot see innocent people get hurt."
Ryan Reynolds was his usual self, put in a good performance. But the cheesy music over the top unrealistic action sequences. The whole timing you got 5hours to produce this witness. Done before, done better, less plot holes. Forgettable movie.
