What can I say about this film? Firstly the dialogue was dreadful. There were more clichés in this film than I'd care to mention. Towards the end it started to resemble COD (particularly the airport scene). After watching TDKR and The Avengers this film was MORE comic book than both those films combined, totally over the top..
And despite all this (or maybe because of?!) I really enjoyed it. The violence was bloody, similar to a 15 certificate Rambo 4. Plenty of blood and the occasional head being lobbed off. I thought Van Damme played a bad guy well. Could have done with a bit more Jet Li in my opinion but with that many stars it's difficult to get the balance right I guess. Chuck Norris was amusing, even cracking one of his own jokes! Plus it was cool to see Arnie firing a big gun again, just like the 80's!
Overall rating: ***1/2
