The marketing posters should have read:
"101 DIABOLICAL MORONIC MINUTES"
"A BARRAGE OF APPALLING PREPOSTEROUS NONSENSE"
"A TOTAL EMBARRASSMENT TO THE ART OF FILM-MAKING"
"AN ABSOLUTE ABOMINATION - THE LIKES OF WHICH CAN NEVER BE EQUALLED"
"A COMPLETE AND UTTER DISGRACE TO HUMANITY"
I'll make this as concise as possible because I don't want to give this film any more time than I already have.
This film is completely one dimensional, devoid of script and therefore has absolutely no character depth, nuance, beauty, interest or message and thus we are left with a deluge of meaningless, non-stop violence in the name of revenge.
Apart from the sequel to this film (which incredibly, plumbs to at least equally low depths), probably Keanu's worst outing - and he has had a few bad ones.
It was no surprise to me that the "director" is NOT a director at all but actually a fight choreographer because that is pretty much all this film contains - and in my opinion, neither well choreographed nor well-shot fighting scenes at that!
In a nutshell, it watches like a video game on automatic play and as the poster (should have) said; a complete and utter disgrace to humanity, though no doubt revered by the brain-dead of the 21st century gaming generation.
