Antonio Banderas and Lucy Liu should be ashamed.

In the action scene at the mall...I don't understand why she was at the mall. She had just kidnapped a child and decided to go to the mall to hangout...wtf...assassins don't do that, they don't just go to the mall for fun.

Then there is the scene where the mom goes to the aquarium, for what? If my loved one was kidnapped, the aquarium would be the last place I would be at...wtf?

I was soo frustrated w/ the movie, that I had to write this while in the middle of the movie...


The only reason for 1.5 stars is because of the action...even though there might be unnecessary explosions and violence.

"worst of the worst" on www.rottentomatoes.com? i've seen worse. lots of worse movies.

What a giant piece of shit.

Why give a 70 million dollar budget to a director that according to IMDB has done one other film that practically no one has heard of? I don't know I really had no expectations.

(read more) Why give a 70 million dollar budget to a director that according to IMDB has done one other film that practically no one has heard of? I don't know I really had no expectations. According to rottentomatoes.com this is the worst film so far this century. I mean it definitely does not deserve to be the worst film because in all honesty it atleast has some ok action sequences. There are so many problems with the movie though. The first thing is definitely the story which has no real motivation but above all else the one thing that an action picture needs to do is entertain. Even me who is a fan of all types of movies but the reason being is that they are fun to watch. This film is just boring and no real redeeming qualities except Lucy Liu and Antonio Banderas. I tried to find something good to say but it really is sad and I wish that there was more motivation in the picture. Overall, knowing what rottentomatoes.com says you might be surprised because it definitely is not the worst thing in the world but it by no means qualifies as a great movie.
