A 7 despite its flaws By component:
PLOT LINE: Not particularly original but solid nevertheless.
ACTING: Passable. Not great, but not too bad considering the genre and the talent pool I would expect available for a new director.
WRITING: In one word, poor. I mean, it's not supposed to be Shakespeare, but there's just not much put into the script-seems the fact that it's an action movie relieved the writers of any effort to make the dialogue any better. An additional comment regarding post-production, as I watched the dubbed movie while also reading the subtitles. I have to say, either the people that did the subtitles or the people that did the voice-overs looked upon the words of the script as nothing more than a suggestion. Their translation of the script frequently did not match each other and, in fact, varied by a LOT, and often (and no, I do not expect translations into English to match word for word). I'm pretty sure it was the dubbing group that absolutely butchered the writer's words, changing the writing from poor to abysmal.
ACTION: Without the wonderful action scenes, car chases, explosions, and everything else, this movie would have been rated a 4, maybe 5 by me, but the stunt work, especially the work with the cars was just outstanding. A great way to spend 90 minutes without thinking too hard-pretty damn entertaining despite its shortcomings.
