Why they feel. They have to use crude humor, vulgar language and full frontal male nudity and pass it off as comedy is beyond me. Horrible movie. Had to turn it off. I just couldn't take it anymore. Storyline was of course done, redone and done yet again over and over in other films. This one was just pandering to those who enjoy seeing stupidity on the screen with what they feel is humor. Jason Statham, et al, couldn't say one word without swearing. Look at me! I'm cool because I cuss!

If you think lengthy verbal insults are funny, you might like this film. They were too much for me. It started out funny. I watched it on an international flight and had to turn it off at one point because I was laughing so hard that tears were streaming down my cheeks. I thought someone might come over and ask what was wrong. As it went on, though, the language got worse and worse as the main character used verbal kung fu to (attempt to) belittle and intimidate anyone she disliked. Yes, the insults were very creative, but they weren't funny. When a comedy stops being funny that's when you start looking at your watch and wishing that it had finished as good as it started. Sadly, the language was so bad that I can't recommend this to anyone.

Wow, easily the biggest cinematic disappointment I've experienced in some time. This could have been a really fun spy satire...instead we got a screenplay of F-words. It's almost like the writers said "well, we can't tell a story with just F-words so we'll have to replace some of them with other dialog...if we must." Combine that with other crude jokes and penis shots and you end up with a nearly unwatchable show that could have been so funny. I would have turned it off 1/4 of the way through but I hate wasting money.
