    It's great to see action stars cast for their moves -- their grace in motion is thrilling -- but they also have the charisma to pull off the characters.

    With backing from the film's producer and co-writer, Luc Besson, the director, Pierre Morel, mounts a breakneck B movie inspired by Hong Kong action extravaganzas, the gritty genre classics of John Carpenter and the Thai neo-kung fu parable "Ong Bak." He hasn't reinvented this particular wheel, but he gets it spinning with delirious savoir-faire.

    Spread the word: This delirious import is the most (maybe the only) fun action movie of the summer.

    The cast hurls itself into the comic-book violence, while the stunt choreography and razor-sharp editing are exhilarating.

    Brilliant just brilliant. I couldn't sit in my sofa while watching this movie. I can't spend a day without watching it. It's a must watch for action freaks.… Expand

    this film is entertaining and a surprise. it has its dumb elements but they don't interfere with your being engrossed in a nearly non stop chase. quirky and cute and fast and fun. One of the best action movies to come around in a long time. don't expect to learn anything or become aware of some social issue but you believe it all enough and care about the characters enough to enjoy yourself.… Expand

    Reminded me alot of the older 80's action flicks often caught on Showtime or Cinemax. A silly story and often times mindless but still alot of fun. There are good mindless movies and this is one of them. Go just for the incredible action scenes, indulge a little. Also I'd like to add "great soundtrack" the pulsing techno music added alot to the action scenes.… Expand

    Action porn. Uninspired dialogue and story delivered by stuntmen instead of actors.
