Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Whoah! If you're looking for mindless action, THIS is the movie for you.
It's over the top, totally unbelievable, physically impossible, but absolutely brilliant all at the same time.
2 minute version:
Clive Owen eats a lot of carrots, and values his privacy. There are many things that he absolutely hates, and he comes into contact with most of these things when he unwillingly gets involved in a plot to kill a very pregnant young woman. Suddenly faced with a nanny job, he shoots his way out of the frying pan and into the fire, each scenario more draw-dropping-ly impossible than the last. Paul Giamatti plays an unlikely criminal mastermind and Monica Bellucci is under-utilized as the proverbial professional with a heart of gold except she's also got a chest of milk to go with it. Things get political, and hopelessly complicated, and of course there's lots and lots (and lots) of shooting, during any (and I do mean ANY) situation.
Good stuff:
1.Clive Owen
2.Clive Owen's one-liners
3.Clive Owen's stunts
4.The hilariously bad but breathtaking, yet impossible scenarios
5.Paul Giamatti's cell phone calls
6.The body count
7.Clive Owen's nude scene
8.Clive Owen
Bad stuff:
1.Carrots are DEFINITELY not good for some people
2.Not enough Bellucci
3.Plot (nuff said) but then again, we don't need no steenkin' plotIf you can forget that this movie professes to have a plot, you're in for a rollicking good (but extremely violent) time. Definitely a must-see if you're looking for mindless adult entertainment, and don't mind looking at Clive Owen.
Rated: 4.5 stars
