| When I saw the trailers for this, I thought it could be on part with The Big
Hit, or at least, The Replacement Killers. Sadly, it doesn't live up to the
potential. No fault of Mark Wahlberg and Chow Yun-Fat; they both give fine
performances, although Mark needs to work on his more. The screen play sucked,
as it didn't tell a very good story, and it really took the plot far too
seriously. The direction didn't help either, Chow Yun-Fat requires a director
who can make action films, not a movie that vainly tries to tell a morality
story interspersed with violence, as this was. Still, it's worth seeing, just
to see how Chow Yun-Fat is improving in english-speaking roles and american
films. |
