Review Time
Storyline: well where
do I start; the fact that this storyline is nothing new or anything special in
fact if I'm being honest in theory it is just something that should have been
safe and reliable, but it is very poorly executed to the point where it gives
way too much away; way too early, mixed in with this film having no get up and
go to it, mix that in with they could easily took off 40 minutes off this 140
minutes film [yes this is not a myth spoken figure,] mix that in with this
project having a reveal style ending for an ending, mix that in with I really
couldn't care about this reveal, no I really couldn't or don't care about this
reveal.
Action/Art/Comedy: there are weapons being used, the driving sequence so this
character/performer [Wilson/Jackson Jr.] can prove his skills, chasing and
combat. Moving on to the art there are some elements in one way or another for
an example when we have our lead character/performer [' O'Brien/Butler]
standing on this beach and there are only small, very tiny like a pinch of salt
of comedy in a dialogue exchange as it relates to vegetarians/vegans or there
is this not funny also not needed comedy element where we have this
character/performer [Levoux/Jackson] and these other characters/performers
trying and successfully intimidating this young man before he takes his
daughter out [you get this feel and look of it may be time for the prom.]
Characters/Performances: I can't say the character developments are poor, because like the
storyline they are just something safe and reliable and likewise on reflection
so are the performances, they are just following their character types and
consequently everything that comes with that, but I do feel because this film
is too long it does leave the characters/performers exposed, if this film is
quicker or shorter it wouldn't leave these characters/performers so exposed, in
a nutshell because the viewers have lots of time with these
characters/performers and there isn't much to them [yes they are something safe
and reliable as characters for let's say a 100 minute film, but not 140 minutes
there needs to be suitable character developments/substance/something of
anything and yes I don't count the reveal because as I have already made
reference to I really don't care about it.
This film receives: 3/10, so this film is poor; after everything is said and done I was
relieved to just get through this project, yes I could put this film as a
higher ranking poor film or very low in the next section of marks, so as you
can clearly see I went with the one I could justify more easily and if you are
wondering what made my decision yes it was the time length of this film being
140 minutes and everything I said in the storyline section of this review.
