The cast, goes without saying, was fantastic. The plot is not that original, but it doesn't need to be, nor was it expected to be. After all most of the people who will watch this film grew up watching the classic action films of the 80s and 90s and are old enough for a bit of gore. Let's face it if you go around killing people it isn't going to be pretty! This film did what it needed to do, it wasn't afraid to contain blood, guts and violence for the sake of an age restriction but also wasn't overly ridiculous. It is easily much more graphic and gory than most modern day action films, but this adds to the film and creates a degree of realism. This was a high octane, unbelievably explosive, funny, blood thirsty, proper action movie! This film would not have been out of place in the 80s, but manages to fit into the market of today's cinematic action experience. I can honestly say that I was not disappointed. So I went into this film with a little trepidation and a lot of anticipation. The expectation for this film is obviously very high with one of the best action hero line ups (if not the best) in cinematic history.
