“This film was way too long. The 110 runtime felt endless with too many long and unnecessary scenes. You could easily trim off 20 mins, and the slow pacing wouldnu0026#39;t feel as obvious, and youu0026#39;d still get the gist of the story, and probably in a more enjoyable way.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eNovice writer and director David Charhonu0026#39;s directing wasnu0026#39;t bad for a newb, but he certainly needed to tweak his screenplay. It was convoluted, and there were just too many plot and technical issues, and was also riddled with pretty much every cheesy cliche of this genre. The best part of this entire film were the last 15 min or so, where youu0026#39;ll find the most action and laughs. Everything prior is mainly useless filler.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe u0026quot;comedyu0026quot; was pretty stale, goofy and cliched – I may have laughed a few times, and the cartoonish cast didnu0026#39;t make the comedy any funnier, or the story any better. Most of their characters were annoying and some even cringeworthy. JCVD of course delivered, especially during the fight scenes, and he was even surprisingly hilarious.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eNevertheless, itu0026#39;s much better than the Bruce Willis and Steven Seagal garbage thatu0026#39;s come out in the last few years. If youu0026#39;re a JCVD fan, this is a must see… his performance (and flexibility) is awesome.”
