There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.
A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
