Review Time: this film is mixed

Fundamental elements: there is a number and words on screen, voice-over elements, background music, cultural elements, slow-motion effects, no subtitles when another language is being used, mental imagery, time jumps and place jumps.

The background music is noticeable and it is just there, the movement of this project is consistently moving but slow [I will be bringing the slowness up again later on in this review.]

Back story/Origin storyline/Storyline: to begin this title we have this back story section, then we have this origin storyline segments via mental imagery and voice-over and then we have the storyline, basically all of these components are solid, nothing special but you know they do their job

Comedy level: there are two small elements of comedy in this film or there is a flavour of comedy here and there [be of a dark make sure and the second one.] So look out for the lady looking for a seat on a bus and the making of a bomb in the second [on a quick side note yes I am very much aware this sequence is to in a nutshell highlight very clearly that this individual doesn't take any rubbish from anyone and he has the personality traits to be a psychopath, when he wants to be.]

Action sequences/Artistic visions: there are weapons being used, combat, training/exercise, a speedboat, helicopters and explosions. Moving on to the artistic visions we have performances happening be it singing or dancing in the background [or dancing involving one main character/performer or dancing between two main characters/performers,] fireworks and we have this cat which I like it when ever this cat appears, in one scene in the background; he climbs up this sliding fencing made of some kind of metal or metal like substance as this cat is hunting this mouse.

Character developments/Performances: now on one hand we have character developments that are something safe and reliable, whilst on the other hand we have performances that are somewhere around mixed with some chemistry, but for most of the time there is friction [depending where you are; is depending what you get.]

Now I don't know what it is; but in some cases this chemistry or friction or it could be the performances or the slowness of this title [basically it gives the viewers plenty of time to notice things like;] these three stages of chemistry or friction ranging from no chemistry or friction to not convincing chemistry or friction to yes there is chemistry or friction, but it is one of those things where if you begin to pick up on it, you will notice it more and more.

This film receives: 5/10, I think in fairness and balance this mark is just about right, meaning it was circling around here in one way or another.
