The movie is rated R, which violence-wise makes sense. Thanks Tony, for the completely unneccessary shooting scene and all the blood and gore. However, the cinema I saw it at had a 14-rating displayed. I wondered why, but now, after having seen the movie, I can understand:
From the age 14 up the viewer will not be able to suspend his disbelief. Everyone over 14 will find this movie utterly rediculous.
Is it Denzel? No, apart from not declining this one, he did alright.
Is it John? No, I liked him. Nice routine bad guy, Vic Deakins with a moustache.
Is it Brian? I loved Payback, but this one... Seriously, Brian. 20 hostages make the price of gold go up 800 percent? Our bad guy talks about himself so much the good guys can easily identify him? How predictable can you get?
Is it Tony? He didn't ruin Last Boy Scout and True Romance, but both of them had good scripts. Also both of them were more than 15 years ago. Tony's over-the-edge editing slow-down-shutter-whatever-style was annoying in Domino, and didn't do much good in this one either.
Long story short: Nice flick if you're 14 or under, otherwise: Utterly boring, don't bother.
