Rating: 7 out of 10, Noted thespian
Vin Diesel returns to one of his signature action roles and empties the bank of
Chinese actions stars as well. They all get together to take on an evil plot to
use satellites as bombs. Diesel literally smirks his way through the entire movie
which is understandable given the nonsensical plot and I’m sure how much he was
getting paid for this. It plays like one of the old kung fu movies where the
impossible is routine. The fights were almost too fast to keep up with – a
tribute to skill of the “actors” performing the stunts. There was virtually no
blood shed despite a body count in the low hundreds. This movie is what you’d
think it is, low brow action not meant to challenge any viewer, so a pretty
honest movie.
MVP: Donnie Yen as Yiang, action plus
acting ability
