Why anybody would expect some deeper meaning behind this obvious "things explode" type deal I've no idea. Even Mickey Rourke turns up as a caricature of a biker gang member playing Mickey Rourke. There are more plot holes than bullet holes and the whole thing is as dumb as a bag of rocks. Eric Roberts is dreadful as usual. But somehow, in some ways, it recognizes its own absurdity and is all the better it. Stupid and loud, but knowingly self aware about it.

action scenes are mostly poorly choregraphed by modern standards. poor cinamatography. terrible script. poor direction. lots of big names. it is mostly stallone/statham. schwarzennegger's cameo scene has the best line in the film. Lundgren does some of the best acting... ends up with middle-aged stallone chasing some younger skirt

Although there's an awesome cast, (not Jason Statham) u would expect this movie to be wicked, but surprisingly its not. It just drags on the plot till u fall asleep (literally!) The film is literally just violence, violence.and bad language. Waste of money and a TOTAL waste of time.
