Bad choice of Director and Cast

Director: Focused too heavily on trying to create memorable action sequences, photography and a soundtrack - on all counts, of which he failed. Didn't focus on script or dialogue or plot. The director simply created scenes to glorify his own junk ideas of what he envisioned as the perfect action movie - and then oddly, he pieced them together and called it a movie.

Actors: Junk. No chemistry, no character development, nothing. What horrible choices. Poor Zachary, Hinds, and Kretschmann were surrounded by junk.

At least the 2007 version incorporated dozens of themes from action, and killing, to betrayal, to slavery, to romance, to political corruption, to international corporation among policing authorities, to family (even if a little), and to sexism.

This movie was total junk. Don't waste your time with low expectations thinking it will be good, simply don't waste your time with this absolute junk.
