Do You remember all these B-side strange ones from 80's? Like American Ninja IV and all the other no brainers from long time ago when You watched movies from VHS?

Well, this movie is exactly like these ones. So plain stupid, so badly acted, but all in all same fun. Chan and Cena are chinese and american operating in Iraq, where local people are basically some second grade background people who are not able to do anything by themselves without two major countries.

Some actionsequences are so boldly drawn it makes you cringe and laugh in the same time. Romantic line is plain stupid, rocket-truck is there for reckoning and Jackie Chan and some crazy fudgehead Knox are fighting in bathfoam.

Utterly unbelievable chinese production. But, hell, it was fun as hell also.

In some reason I saw it as an entrance for horror festival. It is not horror movie, although there are some similarities with Carrie, Requiem For a Dream or with 13 reason why. Story evolves around socially incapable mother whose only friend are her daughter, some birds and porcelain dolls. Mother and daughter have really close relationship, but as daughter is getting older she's trying to find some friends of her own. Similarity with Carrie? - Daughter is not well accepted by her schoolmates. There is no paranormality. Similarity with Requiem for A Dream? - Lapses of reality and sequences which are mere hallucinations. Similarity with 13 reasons why? - How can one mistake lead to the catastrophe.

Great movie, really great.

I waited for this movie whole year, cause trailers looked aliensesque and really cool. I really hoped that Ridley Scott is going to wipe out Prometheus as much as possible and start a great Alien movie. How fool I was. First 30 minutes were actually really great, but then the stupidity started. Crew went to totally unknown planet without wearing any protective gear. I understand that it was needed for plot, but it's so plain stupidity that I wanted to moan. But it did not stop there - then they met with David and from that point the movie reminded some shitty Riddick Chronicles movie. It was lame, it was boring, it was so predictable. There was many scenes in trailer which you can't see in movie. And fight in spaceship lasts only about 10 minutes, but is actually quite cool. And then there is ending which was also really predictable and so f****** stupid. F***, Mr. Scott, stop it, you are ruining Alien's legacy. Pleast stop.
