Of course I know it'll end up fine but...the thought that Nick would leave Truble by herself in that hospital for ANY amount of time is beyond absurd. She's been missing for all this time and shows up like this and you just leave her there overnight unattended?! Unfathomably ridiculous. On top of that you told them she was an undercover police officer which would give you all you need to put Wu or Hank outside her door indefinitely. Even the captain would be fine with it if he was necessary to notify. Wu could even take a couple of days off to do so. The ignorance that the main character has written into his role is, at times, astounding. I like the overall show of course but this was one of those "who didn't see that coming" moments and there's been a few. At other times Nick seems to come to conclusions, correctly, without the information one would actually need to get there. I'd say this is a writers issue. But what do I know... I'm just some guy.

There's several sorta big names here in this movie and it's almost like they shot it on a weekend. Maybe the actors were doing a favor for some buddies they know who have stock in redbox? When the lead is hunting down the super villain, who is such a badass that was obviously captured of his own accord just so he could be brought here, a place that he probably knows the layout of already, as she's hunting him by herself near the conclusion she never once checks her six. That's behind her in case you don't know. The absurdity in this is stunning. She is not a field agent and even if she could function in this sort of situation she would be head on a swivel but instead it's nose in the same direction straight ahead all the time even though there are passageways and doors all over the place behind her. This is just where I lost patience and had to come leave a review. I don't recall the other disappointing aspects but just a little dash of common sense or maybe it was just low budget and they didn't take the time to.... I don't know....think? Could have been an interesting hour and a half and instead, as another reviewer said, I'm not angry but there is definitely disappointment. But there's always this... It could have been worse.

Detective burkhardt instantly begins to judge and blame his mother because she left him with his aunt. He fails to recognize the disaster that he has been flirting with and now has actually happened with the woman he was told he better move on from if he actually cared about her. She will wake up and not remember him if I recall correctly from watching this show back when it was new. It was always frustrating that the main character was written to be so slow in figuring things out. You don't get to judge others for keeping big secrets detective burkhart. Your mother did that to protect you. You can't protect the woman you live with that you were told to disengage from imagine if you actually had a kid with her. What would you do to protect them then? Just keep living this gigantic lie? Oh that's working out wonderfully. But the show is good nonetheless and I like this kind of stuff. I suppose the writers have to do these sorts of things to drag it out. The greatest shows don't concern themselves with that though...

WTFs!

Lot of those going around with folks watchin' ol' Bruce lately.

It's as if Bruce has begun an elementary school and is letting the children write and direct while he agrees to "star". On the other hand and even if that were true, I mean, this movie could actually be more realistic than the "good ones" with all of the non-sequiturs and absurd gun play, it's more likely that this is what a real life scenario would look like. REALLY stupid people saying & doing REALLY stupid things. These kids get it!

Just after the car crash at 1hr 15min, there is a pretty funny few minutes with an Australian guy who dies shortly thereafter. It really is quite funny and is BY FAR the most memorable part of the movie. And I rewound to watch the part I missed when I fell asleep, to be sure.

But seriously, if you don't like wasting time, don't watch this...unless a nap is in order.

For someone who is a genius computer hacker who knows how the filth of human trafficking operate and what they will do to people whom they don't even consider much more highly than a rat, the set-up for the frame job could be seen from a mile away. I mean as soon as she laid that gun down after bare-handedly finding it and threatening the lawyer, if you didn't see where that was going, you must not be paying much attention. I almost stopped watching because it makes ZERO sense for her character to do something so absurd.

I saw the Dragon Tattoo movie first so she's supposed to be a thinker. I understand these people wanting to pin it on someone like her, because they are scum, and I HATE victim blaming, but she asked to be framed. Threaten a connected, disgusting human of a lawyer with his own gun, in his own house, and then leave it there with your prints on it?!?! I'm sorry, but you're asking for it. Astonishingly stupid. Who breaks in without gloves!?!? Even a sock of his placed on the hand would have made this predicament easily avoidable. Also, take the gun and throw it in a river!

Right about the time where the Bad Lieutenant says, "shoot him again! His soul was still dancing!" I said to myself, what am I watching here?! Not in a bad way. This movie is straight up nuts. Val kilmer and Stifler's mom and Mundt down in evidence played by Michael shannon. It's got a great cast. Also Xzibit... Val kilmer doesn't have much of a role but Eva Mendez does. I like this. I can also relate to the addict aspect.

If you're not a fan of the franchise, what are you doing here? If you are, you ought to know they are just gonna get more ridiculous trying to one-up themselves. Magnets don't work like that and they abused the hell out of average people ignorance of that. NOT that I'm some guru or even novice level magnetist. That's right, not even a word, but what's a magnet guru called? I just know you ain't using magnets to thro cars or suck them through buildings. Or to stop a 50-75 tom vehicle with 2 cars! There would have been 100s killed IRL. Like I said...absurd! Rocketing into space...absurd! Still fun and the "Minions" reference was hilarious. I watched the Director's Cut. People putting 3s...why are you here? Why would you even watch? This movie was par for the F&F course. What did you expect!?!? I'll see the next one too! Not the best, miss The Rock...

Just one example...Once you have the "God's Eye" creator (Ramsey)...JUST FRIGGIN STOP!!!!!!!!!! Why are you still traveling at high speed with her on the hood!!?! JUST FRIGGIN STOP AND LET HER IN!!!!! But no, let's stay close to the bus with cannons and Shaw. It's absurd, and I'm willing to overlook plenty of small absurdities, but this one is HUGE!

So this global pharmaceutical company has set all of this up and the secure server that only the highest at the company have access to is accessible using the biometrics of a guy who has NO SECURITY!!! This is the mother of all oversights if you're doing what this company is allegedly doing. Even though Torchwood gets the biometrics in a very gentle way, the guy in the dark parking garage that this walking key is in, does not. But even Torchwood's methods would have been sniffed out had there been even a mediocre security detail watching Mr. Nicholas Frumpkin, as there most certainly would be in this scenario. I know, the building has security, but that doesn't explain leaving the key under the mat...

Even if this sort of thing were plausible, there is no excuse for keeping Castor Troy plugged in for any amount of time, especially once the face is removed.

The first 30 minutes were not bad at all. The guy playing Chapel was over acting, Maxine was good, Seagal was Seagal, and the blue eyed Eastwood wannabe was ok. BUT, whomever decided to put "poophole" in the dialogue should win an award. I haven't laughed that hard lately. Assassin comes at Seagal in the bathroom and calls him a "poophole" just before the inevitable Seagal gun removal maneuver. It was so out of nowhere I had to rewind and watch it thrice. You gotta be in a goofy mood and not looking to think much, but there's always a place for some B movies. There wouldn't be A's without B's! OK, maybe that's not true, but this movie was OK. Pretty good storyline and trickery going on.
