A hitman and by-the-book cop team up to avenge the murders of their partners
Last week, Arnold Schwarzenegger bombed in his action comeback. This week, it’s Sly Stallone’s turn in a much bloodier and louder action flick with lots of bare boobage thrown in , just in case the fighting doesn’t get your testosterone raging.
While still looking as fit and sinewy as ever, Stallone’s best moments are his outrageous quips. In fact, his one-liners are the only highlight in this decidedly grade-D film. It’s kinida sad when the humor stands our more than the action in an action thriller. . Sung Kang of “Fast Five” fame is Stallone’s unlikely partner, setting the stage for most of the humor. Christian Slater and Jon Seda have smaller roles . Sarah Shahi from “The L Word” plays Stallone’s daughter though They look so ethnically different, you’d think she was adopted.
Put a bullet in this one.
