IMHO REVIEW :
so yea... i'm catching up on my movie reviews. saw this two nights ago. it isn't bad... there were two things that annoyed me slightly - but if you can set that aside it's pretty entertaining. (way better then 16 blocks or hostage).

1. the ending is just too convenient. it just ties all the loose ends in like 5 min... that always annoys me.

2. the way things all tie together - how the story goes from one character to the next and so forth... it's just... to contrived? if you can look away from that - it's very entertaining and the pace is fast.

if you're looking for a good action flick where you'll be entertained that i think this would be a good flick. but if you get annoyed with details and such... you might want to stay away from this.

Not the best movie ever made, but I was pleasently surprised by this one. The grittiness was great...so often missed in most Hollywood pics. The ending was conveniant, but it worked for me. A little mindless entertainment is good every once and a while.
