I just didn't think I was watching a real action movie. I think JungleSouljah's thread and some of the replies in here show that I'm right.

I'm not really saying it wasn't a "good" movie. I think movies need to be judged within their own particular context and with reference to their intended audience. I am certainly no judge of what makes a good action movie.

I was just stunned by the level of violence contrasted with, for example, the utter lack of wounds inflicted, lol.

I did think it was too long, I admit it. I think a good film of any sort gets you in, punches you in the gut in whatever way it chooses, and then gets you out. There aren't a lot of movies that I have sufficient patience to ride out for 2 1/2 hours.

But that's a minor quibble. I just posted this for amusement and my own edification. lol
