    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The film is inspired by Unbreakable (2000) and Finding Forrester (2000).
    • Goofs
      The city was just blacked out, but at the end scene, where Samaritan walks away under the bridge, the lights are on. Also you can see lights far ahead.

      The "EMP Grenades" didn't have enough power for long (time) and far (distance).
    • Quotes

      Joe: I'm a troglodyte. Do you know what that is?

      Sam Cleary: No clue.

      Joe: It's Greek for a man who dwells in a cave. See, I'm a caveman. I live in a tiny apartment, and it's fine. I'm good with it. I like being alone. You know what bothers me? What really depresses me? Being around other people.

    Stallone was good but the movie is a letdown

    Really have no clue to the thinking behind movies like this, it's like watching a really bad live action cartoon, the awful clunky editing gives the impression that it was a last minute decision not to make it a mini-series but a TV movie instead.

    At 76 years old Stallone does as good a job as actors half his age, some of the physical stunts and fight scenes are surprisingly quite good but the entire movie was let down by childish writing and an overall silly story together with painfully amateurish acting from nearly all the supporting cast, the flip flop personality of characters within each scene made it a confusing watch.

    On the whole it could have been good, had the story not been concocted by the person that wrote the lego ninjago animated series.

    It honestly reminded me of movies I watched in the late 90s, and no that's not a compliment.

    I give this a generous 5 stars for Stallone and a few really good stunts, the rest of the cast along with the story gets a big fat 0.
