![]() Probably the only slight thing that I would mention in my lowly and wretched opinion, and maybe this is just my personal preference, is that SOME of the action I felt was a bit heavy handed with the fast, quick edit stuff. All the 'Bullet Ballet' stuff (as another reviewer here mentioned) was done fairly well. So, all in all, I really found the movie to be very entertaining, not so over-the-top that it ruined it either character wise or otherwise. There was also a fair amount of rather clever humour that worked pretty well. But, I thought that the way that the film makers portrayed him being a punk, but at the same time showing a believable, sympathetic side to him, was nicely balanced. I also really liked the guy they chose to play the 'Star' he was absolutely PERFECT! In a role like this, it would be so easy to screw it up by him being over-douchey and stupid. I honestly thought that his acting has greatly improved with this role. in THIS film, I actually felt that he came across far more 'REAL' as a person. I frigg'n LOVED 'Prison Break', but his acting was not even CLOSE to a highlight of that series (sorry man.) BUT. To me, this was by FAR the best performance of Dominic Purcell that I have EVER seen. ![]() This movie was a real blast! So many times films like this are usually pretty disappointing to me, mainly because producers always seem to go out of their way to ruin stories like this with over-the-top 'acting' and artificially pumped up stupidity (does that actually make sense.?) Anyway, one thing that I really liked about the film, in addition to it's great all over the place, were the surprisingly intelligent characters and particularly the way the interaction between the two main guys was done. Still, if a person is interested in action simply for the sake of action then I suppose this film is as good as anything else in that category. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this was a pretty good action film which, unfortunately, suffered from too many unrealistic scenarios to be taken seriously. And these criminals have thought of everything-or at least that is what they believe. As if this wasn't bad enough some dangerous criminals decide to raid the SWAT training site which happens to have some valuable bonds being held there in a secret storage room. So while working for the police department doing various tasks he gets assigned one particular job that nobody would voluntarily accept-having to escort Brodie Walker on patrol while he is serving on a court-appointed referral program designed to test his ability to stay out of trouble. "David Hendrix" (Dominic Purcell) is the leader of a SWAT team who was injured on duty and has to get medical approval in order to return to duty. "Brodie Walker" (Cody Hackman) is a spoiled movie star who keeps getting into trouble with the law to the extent that it is seriously affecting his ability to acquire any new roles in the film industry. ![]()
