Now maybe this movie gets better - but I'm sorry - I couldn't stand more than 5 minutes of this stupidity.
So if you are a young guy who wants action, maybe this will be your bag - but just the first couple of minutes was more than I could stand of dumbness in story, execution and the actions of the cops etc.
Does it get better? Or will I just get more and more angry at having to waste my time on this idiocy if I TRIED to watch it again?
The first scene is the only part I didn't like. It was very cheesy and tonally different from the rest of the film.
Who's going to believe a talking head? Get a job in a sideshow.

I am totally with you on this.
I bailed after 15 mins though.
I had to endure the sterotypical bully kid picking on Strathams kid, the Bully kids
white trash parents who are angry that their bully kid got hit by the daughter.
Then, as soon as you see the beautiful teacher, you KNOW she will be the love interest, because of course, all hot female teachers are single and interested in their students fathers.
I did not see if that actually occurred or not, as I said, I bailed after 15 mins, but I'll eat my shoe if it did not......
This is NOT an intelligently written movie.
You said that right. What a piece of trash. I ended up watching because I couldn't help but laugh at the ridiculousness. Please.... if you wanna see a good flick with a real hero and crazy ass meth heads then see Out of the Furnace. That's got everything this doesn't and the acting is top notch
Ali at the Beach
Kinda felt like a 90's Nicholas Cage movie. But it was OK.
-stay thirsty my friends
I love how you couldn't be bothered to watch more than 5 minutes of this but you could be bothered to go onto the internet and "waste your time" asking questions about it...
It's a Jason Statham movie, I'm amazed how many of you seem to have gone into it expecting an Oscar worthy movie...
It's a run of the mill action movie, like all his movies are, if you haven't figured that out by now maybe you should pay more attention instead of coming on here to cry about your lack of incite on what you were getting yourself into... just a thought.

Don't bother trying to watch again. It's total waste of time. I turned it off when Franco made his appearance as a bad ass drug lord.
shareIt's pretty weak and generic. But, I found it slightly entertaining. Something to watch while at the gym.

It does not get better, and it is stupid, but I don't see how it would be impossible to watch…maybe because it doesn't get worse, either. It's equally ridiculous and clichéd all the way through. So in one sense it's successful, that it maintains a consistent tone! Way to go, movie!
