108223, The action scenes were cool, but the story was a mess (SPOILERS)
Posted by ZooTown74, Fri Jan-20-12 11:43 PM
Nate Parker and David Oyelowo were good leads and I appreciated the appearances from Andre Royo and Method Man but Ne-Yo was annoying (what else is new?) and Michael B. Jordan and Tristan Wilds weren't given much to do, so when Tristan is shot down, joins the resistance, disappears, then reappears at the very end, it was hard to care...
Cuba annoyed me with the pipe and Terrence Howard's sole purpose seemed to be to glare at people and make speeches designed to get people clapping in the audience...
I needed more narrative glue to stick to the action scenes, which I thought were top-notch.
And please don't get me started on the love story.
Wasn't terrible but it wasn't as rousing and engaging as it should have been...
