Ding-dong action movie based on an obscure comic book is saddled with a silly name, plus it's a non-Fast & Furious Vin Diesel vehicle, but turns out to be reasonably watchable if you cut it some slack. US special forces soldier is murdered but resurrected by boffins; now he's super-strong, heals really fast, and his blood can connect to the internet. He sets out to get revenge on his killers, but discovers his memories may not be entirely trustworthy...

Whatever his other limitations as a performer, Diesel is fairly well-cast as a relentless human bulldozer of revenge, and the film does have (in theory) a decent plot twist, some interesting ideas (bordering on the existential), and reasonably well-mounted action sequences. With a bigger budget and a more inspired director this could have been an impressively thoughtful piece of SF action, but it feels clunky, not interested in exploring the things that make it distinctive, and there are lots of annoying missteps and short-cuts (a foot chase supposedly around London is clearly really taking place in suburban South Africa). Passes the time in a reasonably diverting way, though.

The PG-13 verison of a M game
Ive only played the 3rd one, when it came out so like 2011 or 2012. I never finished the game idk why, i just didnt. I havent played the first one or the second one either. Alot of people hated this film, i can see why. First of all what genre is this film surpost be? A action film, a horror film, a drama film, a revenge film, a gritty film, a thriller? I dont know its a mix a genres. Second the slow mo is good/bad, cause it was in the games it has to be in film right. Third the action is bad, someone was just shaking the camera the whole time.

The plot: After the murders of his family and his partner, maverick cop Max (Mark Wahlberg) becomes hell-bent on revenge. Teamed with beautiful and deadly Russian mobster Mona Sax (Mila Kunis), Max journeys into a dark underworld to find the truth, but forces -- both worldly and supernatural -- align against him, determined to silence Max forever.

Oh lastly PG-13 why?

Might not be reviewing for a while as I'm concentrating my writing efforts on my novel. I'll try to stay as active as possible and if I see a new film I'll review it as soon as I can :) on the 22nd of this month I will be able to post my Pirates of the Caribbean: Salazar's Revenge (a.k.a Dead Men Tell No Tales) review so keep your eyes out for that, but until then I won't be as active as I usually am. I'm sure you'll all understand :)

Well once the Novel has been completed I shall be requesting volunteers to put their names forward as potential beta readers. These names shall be randomly selected by a name generator so that it is fairly chosen and I will allow them to review the book as long as there are no spoilers :)
