can't stand alba she has as much acting chops as a block of wood. i mean yea she is still kinda hot in a milf kinda way but just to have her parade around in a bikini is just a waste , why not get a younger hotter unknown actress who would show some skin i mean this flick is rated R anyway and we all know alba is just a prude and not a box office sell anyway. i like jason statham but can't stand alba so i'm conflicted , hopefully she doesnt have much screentime that she won't ruin the flick for me . anybody who has seen this movie how is it ??? and does alba get alot of screentime ??? and how aweful is her acting???

Yeah, I thought so too. She's not even that hot anymore and not a draw so might as well save money and cast an unknown who is willing to get naked.

I agree, the TV interview scenes felt over acted and forced. The underwater swimming sequence was what actually made me get up and leave.
Also why was it important for us to know that Michelle Yeoh's characters' father studied medicine?

Your post makes no sense.

yea i now , i shouldn't have put actress in the title cause she is far from actually being one . yea i keep hearing how aweful the chemistry was between her and staham , well at least this should be the final nail in her career so us moviegoers shouldn't have to suffer anymore

Although Alba's acting is cringe-worthy. But at least its better than having another uncle aged actor banging a niece aged actress.

Yeah shes still a bad actress after all these years. She was so cringeworthy in this film.

Lose the Game!!!!!!!

She's just eye candy but she learned how to act at the lumber yard.

Michelle Yeoh's talent was wasted and considering she's 54, nearly 20 years older than Alba, on the looks department she only looked a few years older than Alba and could have been the love interest.

Yeah, terrible casting as I don't like her (I'd much rather prefer the actress Amber Heard), and the main-villain ('Crain') doesn't look like a good villain, he's not scary enough.
