I write this open-mouthed..
26 March 2018
..Astonished at how truly terrible this is. I have never seen 'acting' quite like - entirely puerile, like something some kids would concoct on the playground. To be fair, I've only made it 20 minutes in and had to stop and write this, my first ever review on IMDB.. I only lasted that long because the main star, Aya Ueto, is absolutely beautiful.. really.. but also an absolutely dire 'comedic actress'. I'm watching it in Japan, wondering if Japanese people would be enjoying this, but in 7 months so far I have found myself laughing at exactly the same things Japanese do - so surely they would also not find this amusing? It's irritating almost beyond words.. I thought Hollywood was bad, but wow, this stoops to a whole new level of crassness. I read the star won some prestigious award at a young age, so am hoping she really can act and this is nothing like her - but who the hell would write this rubbish? terrible

Pathetic

This is probably the worst film I've ever seen, and I have seen some stinkers in my time. Why? Well the acting is diabolical, the timing of the 'jokes' dire, (and those 'comedic' moments make extremely uncomfortable viewing), Jet Li was.. Well, I'm not sure where he was.. Stallone's face looks like it's melting, Rourke is dead, and Stratham is, well, Stratham.

Of course the explosions are stupidly over-the-top and plot as shallow as a tea-spoon, but I expected that. I didn't expect just how atrocious it would be.. But when I went to the cinema (in China), I didn't even know who was in the movie.. So maybe i'm at fault!

It saddens me that people have become so braindead that this is considered a good movie by so many. Oh dear. As Bill Hicks said: "Go back to sleep America, here's American Gladiators". Pathetic

The truth's spoken, for once.

It constantly amazes me how no-one in the mainstream media mentions the true reason for the wars the West fights, so it was a revelation when Rob shouted out.

Even supposedly 'liberal' and otherwise intelligent media types always always skate around the issue... are they just scared of not waking up in some woods one day if they dare mention the unmentionable? Have you seen the film 'Festen'? It reminds me very much of that attitude of not speaking, as well as thoughts of 'thought crime'.

I think this is a great piece of documentary: Well-researched, historically factual, with more depth, truth and knowledge than you'll ever get from the news.

Watch it, and judge for yourself - then judge the leaders.
