Starring Jason Statham, Clive Owen, Robert DeNiro, Dominic Purcell, Aden Young, Yvonne Strahovski, Ben Mendelsohn and Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje.
Directed by Gary McKendry.
Jason Statham plays an expert assassin brought out of retirement who must kill a group of war criminals in exchange for the life of his mentor/friend (Robert DeNiro). But an ex-SAS agent (Clive Owen) is on his trail to stop him.
Thoughts I had through the movie:
"Jason Statham was born to play characters named Danny."
"Don't know who this guy is they've tied to the chair, but to me, he's the British Daniel Baldwin."
"Alkaseltzer Akawaka-Ajablahblah would probably have a more successful movie career if he'd use a more pronouncable name. I've seen it spelled out dozens of times and can never remember it. He was cool as Eko on Lost."
"Nice to see Yvonne Strahovski getting work outside of the Chuck universe."
"Wait a minute, that guy with the long hair and mutton chops is the guy from Prison Break! Wow, he looks different. Good for him."
"Why is this being lit like it's a sequel to Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever?"
"Clive Owen's mustache looked silly in the trailer, but it's actually working for me here."
"This setup is very similar to Munich, but these two movies are worlds apart. Which makes me wonder if this movie would be leagues better if Spielberg had directed it."
"Very cool car-chase sequence marred by one guy on the team doing two very stupid things in a row. One, okay. Two? How did he wind up on the team?"
"Gotta love it when movies pretend to be over at the 80-minute mark. Who they foolin'?"
"100-minute mark. Really ready for this muddled movie to be over."
"I wonder how much DeNiro was paid for what looks like about a week of work. More of an extended cameo than a supporting role."
"Ugh, Statham actually had to say 'You just don't get it, do you?' to someone."
