Let's get the good out the way. I must say, the action in this movie kicked major ass. Some obvious inspirations here include some cues from John Woo films and Matrix movies -- but it also has its own spin on thing with numerous moments of "I've never seen that before in an action scene on screen." Entertaining and a hell of a lot of fun to watch on-screen all of the unique set pieces and style of this film unfold on screen.
But, my God -- this movie, clocking in at 1 hours and 45 mins -- felt rushed, rushed, and even more rushed in the plot. So many missed opportunities to expand on the plot/storyline and make it interesting. It really could've used more time to make us care about the characters and their actions. By the end, I didn't really give a shit about any of the characters and what happened to them.
Anyone seen this yet?
