Death Sentence
The last 20 minutes or so of the movie is cool. The rest of the movie is ..... watchable, but below average. Kevin Bacon - shaved head - looks ridiculous.
The movie is a bit too bollywood-ish. There is a bit too much of drama in this for my taste. The direction is rather stupid.
The thing is, this isn't ridiculous like Crank or Shoot 'Em Up (that is what a good action movie should be like). If it was, then this review would be very different. This movie is ridiculous like a bollywood flick. Too much of drama. Wish they would have just kept it simple. You know, like - Movie title, Bang-bang bang, hot scene, car chase, bang bang, babe enters, explosion, car chase, bang bang, hot scene, explosion - The End.
Why can't they just keep it simple. For movies like this, it is usually better if there is no story, or the director doesn't pay too much attention to the plot line. That just gets in the way of a good bang bang movie.

Sorry, are you saying that the movie isn't dumbed down enough for you? Did you actually, with a straight face, say "usually better if there is no story, or the director doesn't pay too much attention to plot line"? Good Lord, man. Good thing you don't make movies.
It would also be a good thing if you could READ. Or perhaps the review wasn't dumbed down enough for you.
It says, 'for movies like this'. As in, if you are making an out an out action film, take the drama out. It slows down the film (examples of other films were given as well).
