Actors:
Rating: 7 out of 10, Diesel playing,
Vin Diesel, only this time he can’t be killed. Actually he was and then
resurrected by a garden variety mad scientist to take out the scientist’s
business rivals. I’m blissfully unaware of the mythology surrounding this
character so I entered without expectations, except for the requisite
explosions and assassinations which were delivered in full. Diesel wears the
part well although he obviously did no research on how Army special operators
work and thankfully that was only for a small part. The rest of the movie has
him being shot, blown up and variously dismembered only to have his resident
nanites immediately rebuild him. The movie bogs down in the middle but the
action rescues it as well as the presence of Eiza González who steals every
scene she’s in. It almost felt like we were back in a real movie theater with
all the pleasure of a true popcorn flick.MVP: Gonzalez as KT the underwater breathing scene stealer
