Now over the past little while Gerard Butler has given us some movies like "playing for keeps" and "chasing mavericks". I respect him for trying something different but let me say that in this film he's back doing what he does best - cracking skulls, literally!. Now this film will be for those guys like me who are tired of movies being toned down for a PG 13 rating. It's a brutal and bloody throwback to the glory days of action cinema in the 80's/90's. this film combines elements of other great action flicks like die hard,under siege, red dawn, independence day, the raid: redemption and many more you could think of. Comparisons aside,It stands well on it's own to many of the classics iv'e mentioned. This flick would of been perfect for guys like Stallone, Schwarzenegger or Willis twenty years ago.
Overall, I wouldn't recommend this film to people who need to go through every little thing to see whether that would happen in real life. Because this film is escapism at its best and too much thinking isn't required. Now if your a person who wants a fun action packed film where you just sit back, munch on popcorn and enjoy the fun, I would highly recommend it.
7.5/10
