Man was this flick nuts. It's like a reality check for action movies, but fun as Hell anyways! Think: Urban Desperado. But funnier. I will never look at carrots the same way again. If you are over 18 and love Bond & Die Hard movies, then SEE THIS MOVIE!
WARNING: You may have a hard time taking action movies very seriously after this film- it skewers stereotypical plot devices while delivering on them at the same time. Kinda like what Galaxy Quest did for Trek films.
But more "EWWUUUUE."

Twas a fantastically silly movie. The carrots were good, but I particularly liked the fist in the fire moment at the end. Being vague so as not to ruin it, but those that have saw the movie will know. Such a stupid film, but it knows that and doesn't care.

It put a big 'ole smile on my face, especially after seeing "The International," which I felt wasted my time with mock 007 semi-realism. Go full throttle action, or bring it down to "Constant Gardener" realism I say.
Unless there is in it the funny.

Clive Owen, Paul Giamatti, and Monica Bellucci all delivered outrageous performances in that flick. B Movies everywhere can stand a little taller because of films like this.
