Sexylocher Masterful Movie

Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

EBJ ​Plot Overview: Exactly one year after Danny Fisher(John Cena) takes down terrorist Miles Jackson(Aidan Gillen) and accidentally kills his girlfriend, that same terrorist returns, kidnaps Danny's girlfriend and makes him accomplish 12 tasks... or his girlfriend dies!Directed by Renny HarlinStarring John Cena, Ashley Scott and Aidan Gillen# NO SPOILERS!Overall: This movie is bad. There is no denying that but it is undeniably entertaining. I WILL NOT stand here and say this film will change your view of the world, or even provide you will interesting or inventive techniques but I will assure you that you will be entertained. John Cena is not as good actor, no surprises there. Aidan Gillen has the greatest accent I've ever heard and carries this movie just with his accent. That is skill! The story is surprisingly clever it was actually kind of scary. It was mindless entertainment and I imagine you'll enjoy it.The types of people who will enjoy this movie will be people looking for a stupid, fun time and people who are drinking with friends because this movie is an ideal drink-along movie.Would Recommend.# POSSIBLE SPOILERS!Aidan Gillen was actually pretty good as Miles Jackson. Miles Jackson was an alright villain and served his purpose. Steve Harris was okay as Paul Allen. John Cena was positively awful as an actor and that is no different here. His character was also so bland and emotionless and robotic it was actually creepy how lifeless he was. He had no likable qualities and was just there. Ashley Scott was also weak as Molly Porter as was Brian J White as Hank Carver.The story is fine. I do like how everything fits into place like a jigsaw and though it was kind of a neat idea. It kind of borrows a lot from Die Hard 3 and that negated from the actually okay premise. I hated the ending and the final 10 minutes were very very weak.The cinematography was absolutely awful.The effects were absolutely atrocious.This movie needed to be mindless enjoyment and it succeeded at that.Personally, I liked this movie for all the wrong reasons and was never bored perse through out. I did, however, despise the final 10 minutes and feel that they were very rushed and stupid. 5/10

Jorge Fernandez Why Hollywood keeps doing these awful movies? It's the same script over and over again: Hero cop with a hot girlfriend. Cop does his job catching a very dangerous foreign bad guy and the bad guy's girlfriend dies. After a year, bad guy escapes prison and plots a revenge on hero cop by making him play a deadly 12 round game, while keeping hot girlfriend kidnapped. Hero cop successfully completes the 12 rounds and kills bad guy. Add the killing of hero cop's black best friend, ruthless FBI agent, black as well, who turns into a good guy to help hero cop in the last minute and a bunch of classic cliché punch lines such as the "do you trust me?" one that hero cop tells hot girlfriend to convince her to jump into a rooftop swimming pool from a falling helicopter which was being operated by hot girlfriend. So many clichés it would take hours to write them down. AND to round it up, add very bad acting from all actors, including Little Finger, and lots of goofs and there you go. An instant Hollywood classic thriller worth two sequels.

Seth_Rogue_One Needless to say SPEED (1994) was definitely an inspiration for this movie, to the point that if they'd switch things around just a little bit it could have been a sequel to it.And even though John Cena is better than he usually is in movies, he's just no Keanu (did I say that? Oh yes I did).And Ashley Scott is definitely no Sandra Bullock and furthermore Aidan Gillen no Dennis Hopper.That said, it's not terrible, SPEED (1994) to me is just one of the best blockbuster action movies of the 90's so the chance that it would match up to it would really be second to none.Anyway back to this movie, it's okay fairly mindless popcorn entertainment, Renny Harlin is good when it comes to action-sequences and yet again he delivers on those aspects.I'm usually not bothered to much over shaky cams but this movie contains a overabundance of that and occasionally you wish they would just use steady cam but what can you do? not much.There's really not that much more to talk about the movie, it's not a bad movie we've just seen it before.It's the best movie I've seen with John Cena at least, there is always that.

YaroLord I wrote this in real time as I watched the movie. Every point is a reason to avoid this movie at all costs. It's the worst thing that I've had the disgrace to watch since This Means War. It's an absolutely horrid cliché fest from beginning to end.MC = main characterWitty dialog between husband and hot wife Outrageously efficient police techVillain is nonchalant about being monitoredVillain easily fakes death, fools policeVillain gets together with hot piece of meatWitty dialog between MC and secondary characterMc plays heroVillain has terrible aim and MC is immune to bulletsInfinite ammoAgainst all odds, MC gets the bad guyMc cares more about wife than he cares about friends and boozeMc argues with wife over petty thing and she says cliché line about disappointmentPREDICTION: Something bad will happen to her - this happenedVillain takes it personal against MC, blows up his house and car, vows to kill wifeMC easily steals sports car, but it's justifiedvillain kidnaps wife instead of killing her, wife becomes damsel in distressPREDICTION: MC rescues wife, they live happily ever after - this happenedWhite cop swings gun around in black neighborhood, doesn't get shotVillain uses riddles as hints, MC easily solves themVillain decides to watch the world burn and torture MC instead of just getting away Best buds 4 life moment between MC and secondary characterHigher ups pull MC back to realityMc is also a fireman!! No oxygen needed though, only coatBOMB DEFUSING TIME!!Mc plays hero... AgainMc drives fireman truck, no permission needed because he's the MC... He destroys everything in his way but it's OK cause BOMBapparently, the MC is more efficient than the FBIvillain goes full SAW, now it's all about solving riddles and getting cluesPREDICTION: "YOU'VE KILLED AN INNOCENT MAN!" - this didn't happen"Keep talking to him so we can get his location"... Doesn't work"No cheating~" says the villain, as he threats to kill MC's wifeMC saves villain from head-shot instead of using villain's dead hand to avoid bomb from explodingMC gets to drive federal vehicle like its no big dealeverything explodes, everything was destroyed, but nobody died so MC saves the day I guess?MC gets cocky with villain and things get harder, color me surprisedvillain kills MC's best bud, but it's OK, he's not his wifes**t goes meta, MC wonders why villain didn't just kill him and his wife when he had the chancePREDICTION: MC will corner villain, villain will break down and give a pathetic speech about love, vengeance and other dumb s**t - this didn't happenVillain replaces high ranked security employee like it was no big deal, gets access to millions of dollars to stealMc's wife gets cocky. Spits on villain's face, despite being at his mercy - Mc's wife knows how to pilot an helicopter, it's easier than a car anywayVillain gets hit by MC's wife and suddenly decides he wants to kill her, just as MC is in place to rescue herMc beats the living s**t out of villain, but he's got the ace of spades, imminent bomb explosion unless they jump from a moving helicopterVillain loss in his own game, MC rescues wife as they safely land on a pool, as money rains over them, they kiss and I'm tired of writing everything wrong with this s***fest of a movie... Wait, the torture is over, credits are rolling! THANK GODI want my neuroses back. By the way, I'm giving it a 1 because of the realistic shock-wave when the house explodes.
