“And splendid for us, the audience. Arnieu0026#39;s back! After small cameos in The Rundown ( This blink-and-you-miss-it cameo also served as passing the torch to new action star, The Rock aka Dwayne Johnson) and The Expendables finally comes an action film with Arnold as the lead. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eDirected by a South Korean Jee-woon Kim who is known for bloody and violent films so this information promises a great film filled with right ingredients for Schwarzenegger movie. The film starts off slow to develop the characters which is great at least you care about the characters. Arnold might be older now but heu0026#39;s still go it to be an action hero. The only problem is that this film is not doing well at the box office. The planned return of the 80u0026#39;s is not going according to plan, which is sad because the films reminding us of the most probably best times of action films are well made films. I have seen it in a packed theatre so I guess that is a sign positive word of mouth will bring a lot of Arnoldu0026#39;s fans to theatre. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eJohnny Knoxville is not only tolerable but he is also funny. His character bring some of the funniest moments in the film. Jaimie Alexander shows once again that she can pull of amazing kick-ass heroine. Letu0026#39;s hope she gets more screen time in the next Thor movie. Harry Dean Stanton who is her for one only scene is just unforgettable just as the dialogue in his scene. Forest Whitaker, an Oscar Winner, gives his usual magnificent performance which sometimes seems very funny given the context of the film and its ridiculous plot. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe violence in modern movies is not the same as in the 80s, 90s. I donu0026#39;t want to sound like a maniac but given the credit of Jee-woon Kim I expected this film to be more u0026quot;off the chainu0026quot;. It is like the studio executives came on the set and told the director to tone the violence and blood down. Even when things get violent it is just not the same as it used to be. Despite some flaws this film still is a great mindless fun action ride and that is exactly what I expected and itu0026#39;s great to see Arnold back on the big screen.”
