Is this CGI driven silly action flick supposed to ruin his career worse than Clash of the Titans did? Because I'm not seeing a difference.
It's a shame, because he had all this positive momentum coming out of
Taken.
Which I for one do NOT understand. I thought Taken was an incredibly mediocre movie. Everyone I know who saw it thought it was the greatest thing since sliced bread. I feel like we all saw different movies
It just happened to be a solid, "martial-arts-style" action movie that came in the middle of a dearth of decent movies in that genre.
But the emotional story hit all its notes solid, so you cared about the protagonist and daughter. And it didn't pull any punches about human trafficking, which gave it tension and a visceral kick that few movies in the genre achieve.
Not a stellar film, but enjoyable popcorn-fare.
