Forget about the PC argument, this is hilariously bad

I couldn't care less about the terrorist and Islam and all that, this movie borders in "so bad it's good" territory, which avoids by being bad on purpose.

The script was written with a retarded audience in mind. It treats us like there's not a million other entertainment options available in a million different platforms. This would be an okay movie in 1991, but come on, we've come a long way in action film evolution. You cannot possibly expect to make this movie after the Bourne series, or mission impossibles, or Craig era Bond. But yeah, good for burning a couple hours on Netflix.

Excuse my English, not my native language.

It's a bad film, but it was satisfying to watch Banning slaughter a whole bunch of terrorists with zero fcks given. I loved the scene where he made the lead terrorist listen to the screams of his dying brother. It was so bad and completely anti-heroic, yet also immensely pleasant.

They wanter to have it both ways. The terrorists were of Muslim origins but they did it out of greed and revenge and never mentioned anything Islamoc

It is a fun hangover movie. Don't have to pay attention and just absorb the action. It's just straight forward film that doesn't try to blow your mind. Like Commando.

Commando is leagues ahead of this film.

I liked it better than the first one. Of course it's silly that one man can stand down dozens of rabidly hating attackers and escape almost unscathed, but that seems to be the niche that Butler has found and which fits him perfectly. I thought there were moments of truth, such as complaints about Western bombing of innocent civilians. Of course, they took pains to avoid that at the end and side-stepped any reply to the complaints, but it was heartening to see someone mention that.

Your English sounds completely natural down to your use of idioms ... idia? If you hadn't said anything, I would have thought you were native.
