Above average, Way above.

Rating: 8/10


This was great entertainment, Story:well scripted to avoid the many
pitfalls the this kind of movie could have fallen in to. More layering
and character development that you could ever expect from a film like
this. Acting: no Oscars gonna be won here… but hey it's a JCVD flick
and he and the rest of the cast do a good job in it. Action (fights):
No Jason Bourne, or Taken, but pretty close!, you can see how much went
in to choreography and rehearsal, very well done. Production: Nice
cutting, great timing, superb use of location. Maybe the only weakish
spot was the score, it sometimes felt out of context and/or
under-produced.

Anyway: Director sure knew what he was doing here, and i liked it a
lot.

Please Mr Hymas (Sr and Jr?) find a big budget, a great script and go
do a Jason Bourne movie!
