...but instead, the script fell of the creative shelf and straight into the quick money-making hamper.
The beginning is good (why I gave it a 4 star). It was strong and beautiful. When Jimmy (Anthony Hopkins) comes in, there's a strong feeling of something cooking and an involvement is created.
And then comes the first fighting scene where everything, and I mean EVERYTHING breaks into 1000 pieces of irregular, random pieces from every corner of the universe.
The choreography is just sad. Watching a lot of Korean movies, I'm used to well executed fights and action. In comparison, this was such an extremely disappointing experience that I had to look again who produced and directed it.
Cliché after cliché and stereotype after stereotype, the director fails completely to engaging me in the story. Loss didn't touched me. Death didn't move me. Environments didn't convinced me. And so on...
Such a shame.
