Saw a screening of the movie


So i got to see a screening on 4/14/2011, its a pretty good movie so without giving out any spoilers (because come on its a Statham movie, A$$ kicking the whole time thats pretty much it) im just gonna say that the movie was almost a mixture of Taken (Liam Neeson movie) and Man on Fire (Denzel Washington movie) what ever the description says what the movie is about pretty much sums up the whole film. I rate this movie 2.5 out of 5 simply cause of the fight scenes.

Oh yeah also one final thing that kinda bothered me about the movie, Statham's character is this cage fighter who is down on his luck but towards the end of the movie the mayor of New York mentions that he's actually a "somebody" who's not to be messed with cause he's got connections, thats it, there was no other mention on what Stathams connections were and who he really is cause apparently he isnt a cage fighter who turned homeless.

So, if you don't mind me asking, what were the fights like? Were they Transporter esque, or a little more grounded in reality? Also do you know if Michael Jai White or Scott Adkins were in this? I know they were both at least rumored I think. Thanks!

@Kevin - sorry im about a year late in responding, but yes the fights were typical Statham or Transporter-esque

Lol, no problem, thanks for responding. I also wondered, but didn't ask last time, are there some tough henchman in the film that give Statham some trouble in the fistfights, or does he kinda beat everyone without much trouble? Thanks again!

Are you kidding? This is JASON STATHAM we're talking about here! The man could take on a whole country with just a wooden spoon and a sheet of sandpaper and still win!
