At the store I was fooled that this was the studio version, but don't be fooled, this is the biggest pile of feces I've ever seen, and I only watched the first 15 minutes. I swear that if I watched any more my eyes would have exploded and my ears would melt from shear disgust. This movie was made in about a week in order to steal some thunder from the "real" movie. This is like Snakes on a Train, they change the title slightly and let the money roll in, but don't let these freaks get any money. They wasted your money and however long you sat to watch this crap. From what I saw, they special effects were created via ketchup bottles, the plot was written by a eight year old who was way to interested in boobies and blood, and the actors are people that probably needed the work so bad they would be willing to be paid minimum wage. Period.
If you are expecting a serious action/thriller film you will be disappointed, but if you are a fan of bad movies, prepare to be amazed. This movie is exactly what you want for this kind of movie because it makes fun of itself so much it makes it a great mix of thrills and laughs. You will constantly laugh at the unbelievability of the snake that just tripped over the wire making it become unplugged and you will gawk at the stewardess who somehow got a mini-flamethrower onto the plane. This whole movie gets to the point where the ridiculousness is expected and it reaches its happy medium. Throw in some awesome acting by Samuel L. Jackson who knows exactly what this movie is trying to do. The plot is cliché, you know who's going to die in the first five minutes, and its just so stupid its smart. Watch this movie now!
I am one of the many people who are seeing this film and have not even heard of the source material, I am too young to know what it is yet I am old enough to see the new and enjoy it. This film is not as good as the other Micheal Mann film with Jamie Foxx (Collateral for those in the know), but it still has its moments even though they are way to bloody for their own good. The acting is fairly nice in some parts, but is over acted with silly accents here or under acted with little emotion in some parts. The middle part of the film that with little reason skips out for an arguably more romantic half hour between Colin and Gong could be cut out or left in, but the action scenes are enjoyable and the plot progresses at a nice pace. This movie will most likely be enjoyed by action film people who aren't slow at following plots, but I found that even my mother enjoyed this movie. It may be graphic and a little on the long side, but it is a fairly good film that can be enjoyed by many.
