Anybody else watched this yet? Definitely not as cheesy as I thought it would be (I'm a sucker for cheesy, bad action flicks) but it was still a pretty good movie. Not much of a story obviously (it's a Stallone action movie) but it worked.

One thing that didn't make sense to me was the Statham love interest storyline. Why was there a need for that character? After he dispatches the ex boyfriend we never see or hear of the girlfriend ever again and there is 45 mins of film left.

haha I wouldn't have mentioned it if it had anything at all to do with the plot. That's why I brought it up, it was so random and had nothing to do with the plot before or after the beatdown of the exboyfriend.

Went in expecting nothing but high body counts, and that's exactly what it was. I loved it. The opening scene was awesome.

I enjoyed it.

No, it won't win an Academy Award. It is just a good action movie. Just what I expected.

I love how Randy's character is really self conscious about his cauliflower ear.

A good action flick. The acting was actually worse than I expected...didn't seem like Dolph Lundgren has done much practicing since probably Universal Soldier. Was hoping to see Stone Cold throw a Stunner in there but sadly, no :(. Worth watching IMO. Although, it is hard to believe that Stallone once wrote Rocky.

Couture was by far the worst. I cringed every timed he talked.
