If you like Slam Bang – Thank You
Mam Action movies – you are going to love this J.
Out n Out Friday night action stuff. It made me think again and again while I
saw this that – looks like the script was written with Angelina Jolie in the
mind and they end up taking Zoe Saldana for the same. Still it is a damn good
one time watch. It indeed reminded me of Angie’s last two movies that I saw “Wanted”
and “Salt”. Although this one isn’t that strong in content but with that kind of
action who cares about the content as long as everything is eye candy. But
kudos to the director who gave us “Transporter 3” – the highest grossing
amongst the Transporter Trilogy – it’s no wonder that this one’s action
sequences are wonderfully choreographed. Zoe certainly is capable of giving her
counterparts a run for their money in the longer run. Her movements were like
Cat Woman and action was beyond my expectations. Even the little girl who plays
her childhood part was too good in the brief role. If you like Action movies –
you should not be missing this one. 100 minutes of sheer fun not to be missed.
My Sunday morning started with
this one, I started it very casually while checking some emails on my phone and
as it started giving us the aerial view of Colombia with two guys talking and
coming to a conclusion where the first one a Gang Lord lets the second one go free.
The moment second guy walks out, the first one says to his men “Kill this
mother fucker”, the other guy goes out and tells his team that they are going
to face the music now, I kept my phone down and started to take interest in the
movie. And did I pick up my phone for next 90 minutes? No ways! And I don’t even
regret. Right from the moment “Go” this turns out to be a action packed movie.
The moment this guy comes home, he instructs his wife and kiddo to pack the bag
and they will be leaving the country. One moment you see the wife packing the
bags and running with the daughter and the next moment when they realize there
is no way they can get away from the scene – they go for the backup plan and
you see them picking up huge guns, even his wife had quite a big gun in her
hands. They both die but the daughter somehow escapes as her dad had already
set up an escape route for her just in case something happens to them. She goes
to Chicago and joins her uncle. The way she escapes from Colombia and those
guys is worth a mention and the sequence is totally awesome. Her uncle promises
her revenge only if she follows his path and admits her into a school.
15 years later: The real action
starts now as the girl is all grown up. Even her entry is classic as she comes
full speeding in her car and bangs a cop car, only to get arrested for drunk
driving overnight. In the meantime a high profile criminal is escorted by cops
in the same prison and I realized – it wasn’t an accident rather a plan and how
she executes the whole scene is just simply outstanding. Before even anyone
could realize what happened – she is already done with first of her revenges. One
by one she takes on every one who was responsible for her family’s
assassination. Every killing sequence is better than the last one and the final
climax sequence is totally mind blowing action. The way she is tracked by FBI
and Cops hand in hand still they aren’t anywhere near her – let alone catching
her is a little over cooked but those are the cinematic liberties that we give
to our Directors and forgive them in the name of sheer entertainment. Use of
technology, her artillery, fire power, a little love and romance, the movie has
almost everything to make it a bloody good experience. I will recommend it very
highly to all action movie buffs. Even if you won’t love – you will enjoy it
for sure. Go ahead – pick up a six pack and enjoy the action.
