The previews made it look funny, but for some reason, I never got to the theater to see it.
I rented it on Netflix and I'm glad that's all I did. The movie is 86 minutes long and a good 1/2 of it was rather boring. Overall, the movie didn't do much of anything. It's a high concept idea and there really wasn't anywhere for it to go.
What movie am I talking about?
For a good time, call....
It had some really laugh-out-loud funny moments, but mainly it was rather boring. It's one of those on the low end 2 star movies.

u do know everything on Netflix has a rating
Of course I know there's a rating system on Netflix, punk!!
However, unless a few people I personally know tell me it's a bad movie, I will normally seek out a movie I wanted to see, eventually, if I don't see it in the theaters. This just happened to be one of thoese movies.

eeh gads
i made that mistake...and i vowed to myself....never again
I usually make an attempt to see any movie jason statham is in, and despite the overwhelmingly negative reviews from just about everyone, i watched it anyway
turned it off after the first 10 minutes
which brings me to this question
how long did you watch that shitty film before giving it the curtains?

I watched the whole movie. It wasn't horrible, just mostly boring.
Have you seen Transporter 3? That movie's action is laughable.
But the Transporter series is supposed to be tongue-in-cheek action.
The main draw for the movie is the Audi A8.
People just wanna see a 90's style badass beat up everyone and get the girl in the end.

I thought this was going to have an 8 mile feel to it but this shit sucked. I wasted 28 bucks on this piece of shit. Don't do the same. The acting was incredibly forced even though they had some pretty decent actors. The story started out great but 30 minutes in it looked like someone's parody of a student film. Again don't waste your money.

Wow, I didn't know it was that bad. I saw the preview recently when I rented a dvd about 2 months ago. What a disappointment. The preview had it looking like the best thing since sliced bread.

Fam that's I went. I talked my gf into seeing it instead of the Tribecca Film Festival. I will not hear the end of this shit now. The premise was cool and the story could have been awesome but it was so cliche, swap out any bad BET movie and replace the actors with latinos and that shit was Fillie Brown. Sometimes you gotta wonder where this shit gets the funding and how the hell they got Edward James Almos and Lou Diamond Phillips (first movie I saw them in since Stand and Deliver btw).

Yeah, I can see that, but the action sequences just become too much.
The Audi ends up in a lake for 10+ minutes and he gets pulled out and there's not a drop of water inside the car? Not to mention he used air from the tires to inflate some bags to bring the car to the surface and his tires are fine? It's just beyond ridiculous and laughable.
Not to mention getting thrown through a solid cinderblock wall and being fine without a scratch.
I'm all for suspending some belief in the laws of nature, but that movie went way too far above and beyond for me.

I love action movies. Love them. But when the hero gets thrown through a SOLID CINDER BLOCK WALL BY A MAN and doesn't even miss a beat in his fighting, that just is too over the top for me.
Action movies are made up of a lot of implausible action sequences I get that. Even Live Free or Die Hard pushes the boundaries with that, BUT the difference is, at least the heroes get injured. LOL. That adds a bit of realism to otherwise ridiculous action.
I don't know that I'd call it the greatest movie of all time, but it was a great flick.
