CINEMA: 13th Avenue Warren, Wichita, KS
AUDITORIUM: 18
PRESENTATION: Dolby Digital Cinema/THX
PRESENTATION PROBLEMS: None [Cool]

RATING: Two and one half stars (out of four)

THE PLOT: What...was Steven Seagal busy or something? Wackiness ensues

Formula Steven Seagal script with a better actor, better dialogue, and a far too long runtime.

Creative use of tools, though.

I liked the movie, I saw it last weekend. I think this will be Denzel Washington's first movie franchise. I also really liked how it was ultra violet with the way the deaths occurred, reminded me of a 1980's type of movie.

I liked that the supporting case were actors I have never seen before.

The sound mix was damn impressive, excellent use of surrounds in a lot of scenes. All kinds of sounds coming from the rears. (How on Earth did this movie not get an Atmos release for all the Dolby Atmos fan boys?).

I would go to sequel if they made one.
