The engine of a motorcycle wouldn't keep running under water. Certainly it wouldn't be able to rev up as seen.

Quotes

Augustus Gibbons: [after Neymar took down the thief] And you say you're no hero! I gotta call bullshit on that. You're exactly the kind of hero the world needs. At the end of the day, it comes down to the same question I've been asking my wife every Friday night for the last 20 years, Do you want some of this?

User Reviews

Honestly DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY

I cannot believe I actually paid to watch this utter tripe. It is possibly the worst film I have ever seen in my life. If you've any sense do not waste your money like I did. Some of the scenes are just ridiculous. Donne Yen must have been totally desperate for the money considering some of the great films he has made in the past. The female characters are as you would expect very attractive but do not make up for the awfulness of this film. Vin must be sat at home thinking OMG why on earth did I actually make that film as he probably doesn't need the money. The only good part of the film was near the end. The best part of the film was when it had finished and I could get out of the cinema. Honestly I repeat DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY.
