Well i just saw it and i must say, the film has its moments
The fights scenes are worth their weight in gold
easily entertaining and bloody. With splendidly
ridiculous gun play that does the video game proud.
Did i mention entertaining?
Very annoying was the directors need to tell you where
the characters were at all times, with little typewriter captions.
Even if it had previously been mentioned
I don't know how many times i saw the words Russia or St. Petersburgs
but it was overkill and you nearly want to scream "WE GET IT!"
On the bright side, i am now properly affluent in Russia scenery.
As for Olyphant (its a 'Y', the 'i' is from the animal (see Lord of the Rings))
he does pretty well for himself
for the most part the performance seems forced
and a bit awkward but i'd watch it again
several times
aside from this the movie stands quite well
And if they make a sequel
b/c you know hollywood they had to leave the ending open
i'd see it.
I truly would, and hopefully
there will be some improvements
P.S.
i am in a very good mood and may have been
rather kind in my review so my real advice is well see it for yourself
