Hummingbird (2013)
Hardly any action to wet your teeth...
I avoided this movie for a long time since the description said drama. Then there's reviews on here calling it an action movie I mean people come one this is not action. The movie is very slow. The movie starts off with statham getting the living daylights beaten out of him by a couple of thugs. Later you see him beating up 5-6 guys without a scratch. This movie has no consistency the part with the nun is boring and overstretched. Statham is a drug dealer, debt collector doing all the dirty work we do not see enough of that. So many crimes take place in London and you don't really see a single police officer during the whole movie just references to the police. This movie had so much potential but didn't use it statham was completely wasted, his attempt at an emotional and more involving role was just too rigid. The psycho prostitute killer doesn't have much role and his comeuppance could have been a lot better. There's hardly any action in this movie, no car chases, no gun fights a few beatings here and there no tense moments just plain old boring parts that were given too much attention. Stop calling this an action movie, don't waste your time thinking it will be like parker or even blitz.
Taken 2 (2012)
Totally avoid
I fell for it, because I enjoyed taken even though I was told to avoid this I watched it. Whats wrong with this movie, the question should be whats right with it.
1. Villains are out for revenge manage to track neeson bribe their way past security yet when they face neesom they are totally incompetent.
2. Kim has her swimming session and the villains don't bother her at all until they have neeson and his ex wife.
3. Villains manage to kill hotel security very easily but not one of their bullets even scracth neeson.
4. Istanbul a popular tourist city is full of slums and women covered in burqas.
5. Taxi drivers in Istanbul have better cars than the police of turkey who have something that resembles ladas.
6. You can set off many grenades in a dense city but no military or police will look for you.
7. When villains catch you they will not pat you down for hidden weapons, or mobile phones they will just tie you with cheap plastic bands then leave you alone for you to escape.
8. While in a gun stand off and a baddie pointing a gun to your wives head will conveniently let you make a phone call and cant find your daughter even though you just told her in front of the baddies.
9. Albanians speak English with each other but some speak their native language.
10. You can drive a car into a US embassies courtyard, heavy artillery is fired at you but not a single bullet hits you nor does any bullet damage the engine or tires of the car.
11. A girl who fails her test many times is all of a sudden able to drive a car like transporter.
12. You hide in your fathers closet in a swimsuit and are asked to act casual and blend in yet you choose to steal clothes from hotel staffs lockers and attract all the attention.
13. You can count seconds on your watch blindfolded and work out the directions to the location you are kidnapped to.
14. You get slashed on your neck with a blade and are hung upside down to bleed to death yet later your wound automatically heals over a few hours and your fresh to go again.
15. While fighting camera angles and during car chases camera angles don't have to make sense you have to use your imagination.
16. Your typical action movie its justified to have Muslims as evil villains and they are so bad at it and so easy to kill.
I can go on and on with the terrible flaws in this movie which doesn't make sense and is a total waste of time.
