After I've seen this movie, I think some things have to be said. Lets start with the bad things:
-Franks character is horrible. I mean horrible. Every word he says is annoying, every time he is on the screen you want to rip out your eyes and feed them to your eyeless cat. This character was worse than Jar Jar Binks. And I hate Jar Jar Binks. Hearing the jokes of this character really made my brain bleed. I wanted him to die from the first minute. And this joke of a character was meant to be a reference to Jacky Chan?!?! Treating this legend who has done so much for the action-movies with that little amount of respect is frustrating and made me angry. I am still angry about this. What the hell?
-The dialogs are awful. Not just bad. They are the worst crap you have ever heard. For real.
-The loss of Jet Lis family at the beginning of the movie is just not of any interest for the character at any point of the film. That is ... weird?
-Almost all fight scenes were speeded up. It makes the action look bad sometimes, which is a pain in the ass, because the choreography was done very well and the performance is great! Sad decision though ...
Now the good things:
-Some kills just look amazing. Very nice gore-effects were used.
-The stunts are g-r-e-a-t!
-Maybe the best woman-kill-scene I've ever seen.
-DEFINITIVELY the best helicopter-scene that was ever shot by any human being. Damned, why they don't do stuff like that anymore?
-One of the most enjoyable fights in the movie was the last fight by the character Frank (who I still hate). It was absolutely not fitting to the role he was picturing, but done amazingly! Cool ideas, again an awesome performance (this time not by Jet Li) shot in a brilliant way.
I gave 6 of 10 because I LOVE action movies and I LOVE martial arts, stunts, explosions, flying bullets and dying people. Why not more? Because of Frank. THIS CHARACTER WILL HUNT ME IN MY NIGHTMARES! It seems like I'm overreacting but I am for real when I say that my ears puked into my skull. I wanted him to die so badly, I still do ...
