It's the journey, not the destination...

Sure, okay, the good guys finish first. Sure, okay, you knew that going in. But - WOW! - what a fantastic action flick. The athleticism of the actors in this movie was astounding, and you find that out bare minutes into the movie. It probably wouldn't have held my attention otherwise. But when Leito started struttin' his stuff, I knew I was in until the bitter end. The choreography of the fights and pursuits was wonderful.

Considering the trite plot and predictable ending, the movie had a desperate, edge-of-your-seat feeling, and that's pretty impressive. I could have watched the first 10 minutes and said, "Yeah, okay, here's what's going on, here's what's going to happen next, here's how it ends, and there's a bunch of buff guys with incredible athletic skills in it. Yawn." I didn't yawn once. VERY watchable. Brainless fun for 90 minutes.

I have to say again...WOW, about the athleticism and choreography. Tres bien! Tres chic! Je l'aime.

Merci.
