Well, before all those brainless fast and furious franchise (Fast 5, 6, 7 and maybe 8), we had this action flick with almost similar formula. Here we see John Travolta and his side-kick Jonathan Rhys Meyers partnered to save the world from the terrorists. There is nothing much to say about the plot, even the twist in the end (again, the formula) can be easily predicted from the beginning itself. It's evident that John is not doing those ridiculous stunts by himself that you feel there should be a stuntman's name mentioned at the beginning of the movie.
I had been to this movie with an expectation from the director of Taken, a movie I enjoyed very much but here since I had expectations, I was disappointed miserably. But if you watch this movie without any expectations and leaving your brain for rest, then you actually might enjoy this flick.
Most of the time, the one-liners are the highlight of this kind of movie but here everyone was so lazy about writing and focused on just action. Even the editor is somewhat lazy that he chops some scenes shabbily.
I rate this a 58%.
WATCH IT if you are such an action junkie who can watch it as a brainless.
It is not available to stream anywhere in India, then you know where to find it.
