Dull made into a Action Movie
posted on 19 Mar 2009Wow. This is one of those movies that you knew what was going to happen and when even before you started to watch the movie. This movie was one long string of stereotypes that made it very predictableFoes working together even though they hate each other ... check Dying bad guy wants to redeem himself before he dies ... check Good guy has a traitorous superior ... check Dying bad guy wants to make up with wife and/or children ... check Femme fatale ... check comic sidekick ... check Bad guy redeems himself by sacrificing himself for good guy ... check All government agents are incompetent until end ... check all henchmen can not shoot straight ... check1 star for good backgrounds, 1 star for the hit-man's daughter
Involuntarily funny
posted on 07 Feb 2008Action scenes --especially those taking place in Barcelona-- are filmed as if in slow motion, with telegraphed blows. The characters behave oddly. The former hit-man --whose life has been threatened by fellow gangsters intending to stop him from giving testimony before the courts-- is paraded by his bodyguard (the movie's hero) all over Barcelona. The bad guys are incredibly clumsy as well: horrible aiming with the guns and slow motion movements, thus allowing the hero to conveniently kill all of them. The two police officers assigned to assist in the protection are dumb: they open the door at a simple knock, without preparing themselves (and, lo and behold! both are instantly killed by the bad guy, at the other side of the door). And so on. One point for the effort of making an action movie in an unusual environment. They should keep trying: it was a good idea. But, even though it is a relatively simple genre, shooting these action films takes some practicing and learning too.
Turn off your brain, tune out logic
posted on 15 Jul 2009This is a movie about a bodyguard who has to protect somebody but can't do a worthwhile job of it.Like most action movies of this sort, it loses logic about 20 minutes in.The bad guys are too bad for their own good, but they look good in fancy suits and with nice weaponry.The good guys are too dumb - tough but dumb.Now, if I had to relocate a witness, I would not take them to places that would be popular or hot or known to anybody.I would throw them in back of a beat-up car, wearing rags and take them to some place that nobody would ever think of.They would listen to me or I would bust their teeth.However as in every other witness relocation/protection movie - logic is misplaced for what is supposed to be a story.The performances are bad, the story is bad and the action is also bad.However for a comedy, it's not too bad...if you want a little bit of action with your funny.With a whole bunch of useless and needless locations, scenes, action sequences and dialog as well as major plot holes - this could be one of the lost comedies that you may find interesting.The nightclub scenes are pretty interesting...walking around in ski masks in a nightclub and nobody notices.Brandishing weaponry across a dance-floor and nobody moves until gunfire is sprayed.Yep, it's the little things that can make a movie good or it's the little things that can make a movie horrible.This does the latter.
