Michael's Movie Grade:C-
Review: Entertaining time passer but little else.
This film has a nice (but not exactly great) atmosphere, and well done action scenes, but is lacking in both the characters and story. The main problem is that this film tries to focus on too many characters and their own story lines. Because of this while the characters are likable, they aren't fleshed out anywhere near as good as they should be. You just don't get to know these characters as well as you should. Also with this many little story lines we see to little of all of them for them to be as effective as they should. The main story has been done many times before and this film does it decently here, it still has been done better elsewhere. The humor is hit and miss though there are still some good jokes in here.
Overall this is an enjoyable film, but there is little to make it stand out among better similar films.
