Why watch this film? Jason Statham and not much else. the plot is nothing special and does not differ from the Burt Reynolds 1986 version but it seems Reynolds did not kick as much ass as Statham. it's 2015 and the violence has been amped up as the audience demands more. like the ancient Romans we must be entertained. the movie moves along at a snail's pace and you almost die of boredom waiting for something to happen. wait for it cuz when the ass kicking starts it is well worth the wait. ASS KICKING is the only reason to watch a Statham movie. he is magnetic on the screen and opens a can of whoop ass so well. the violence is cartoonish and it amazes that in the end he gets away with all the mayhem he leaves behind. you must suspend your disbelief cuz this kind of thing doesn't happen for real. that's why we go to the movies - www.movieshared.net
