I haven't seen this movie yet, and probably won't, but I can guess why it sucks ass. The problem with action movies nowadays is ever since MMA exploded most movies are trying to make their fight scenes mimic MMA fighting. Do I really need to see a guy throw a rear naked choke on another guy in a fight scene? Hell no, I want to see the stupid Steven Segal shit that I know will never work in a real fight, but is fun as hell to watch in a movie. I can pretty much see MMA 7 days a week now on TV, but when I'm watching a movie, I still want to see the unbelievable Arnold Schwarzenegger taking on 10 guys at once bullshit. Now that, to me, is entertainment...
