Whoa! That movie was pretty badass!!!

Shane is right about the pace and entertainment value.

I had my reservations on the cheeseball cast - or so it seemed. But, they all delivered. TI was sinister and slimy as hell from the get go, but I will say his acting is a tad bit canned. The foot chase scene is epic. This is a movie where you root for the bad guys!!!

It felt a little contrived to me. It was well paced but I found it difficult to just accept that these guys were actually this skilled. I suspect there was 10 minutes or so that was cut from the final film that would have provided the necessary exposition. Still, worth watching. Definitely a waste of Zoe Saldana though. Fully clothed and very little camera time, what a shame.
