The trailer for this is actually pretty solid and i thought it would be good because of the supporting cast as well. batista limited to short lines and fightng wouldve been fine, except that they did the opposite. they gave him useless stupid long lines of dialogue, and i think i counted three "action" scenes. I put that in quotations because none of the action aside from maybe the opening shootout was fast paced.
this was miscast, in terms of the lead cop who plays a minor foil for batista. he acts all tough, but looks like a scrawny little punk, as does purcell's lead henchmen who looks 160 lbs soaking wet.
there were a few unintentionally funny moments where i laughed because the lines/cussing seemed so unnecessary. for instance when in the parking lot, batista wants another file from his ex partner, at the end of it the ex partner randomly goes "f*ck you, asshole!" with a double flick off, then drives off. also after he fights the black guy at the house, batista says, " let's go you big f*ck." end scene.
at the very end of the movie after amy smart is shown shoving cops and saying ray for about two tediously long minutes, the last line is "have a great life, jeannie."...jenny...whatever her name is. and that is that.... no real closure. abrupt, silly ending to a very cliché movie with no real action.
