A simple action flick. The concept is little more than "let's bring Jackie Chan and John Cena together and let them fight a bunch of baddies", and that's exactly what you're getting here. That's not necessarily a bad thing, certainly when the film is quite short and to the point, but high-class cinema this is not. Chan and Cena are a decent team, though their style of comedy is pretty predictable. It makes for a lighter atmosphere, which in turn makes it easier to forgive the film some of its wonky CG. There are some solid action choreographies, but nothing too out of the ordinary. Simple but honest action entertainment.Read all
Pretty damn poor. I played the games when I was younger, though I've never been a big fan (nor do I remember them having many distinctive elements that could be used as a solid base for a film). With the Fast & Furious franchise doing so well though, I get why they tried to see if they could milk it. Aaron Paul is a shitty lead, Cooper a bland bad guy, and Poots is wasted. The plot is negligible and while the street races are kind of fun, they're never as over-the-top as needed. There's also no reason why this film needed to cross the 120-minute mark. A bad knock-off, I'm glad they left it at that.Read all
