If you haven’t seen the movie, please stop reading unless you are fine with spoilers, in which case, carry on.
This was a pretty good movie, but I don’t think it hurts to go into it with low expectations. I was thinking there would be some running and chasing and probably some shooting and some running and a little more chasing. It had all that and oh so much more:
- A little bit of Ryan Reynolds with his shirt off to prove that his Green Lantern trainer is still employed.
- A lesson for the ladies – If you hear gunfire, don’t just stand in the middle of the living room. That is how you get dead.
- The best movie line I’ve heard in awhile – regarding Denzel, “You’re like a black Dorian Gray.” – He totally is!
- Suspension of reality – RR gets stabbed in the stomach and then several minutes later, muscles up the power to strangle a healthy man to death
- Poor portrayal of tactical teams – Random heavily armed guys break into one of your safe houses and you do a crazy poor job of defending it. You don’t even bother to put on any protective gear. In fact, you sport a bright flannel shirt. good plan.
I recommend this movie for pure entertainment value. I’m already looking forward to renting it because I feel like this list should be quite a bit longer.
