Best movie ever!
It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.
Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.
