I love action movies. I love action movies with lots of martial-arts, special effects, and explosions - especially when they have cheesy dialouge that lets you sit back and enjoy the ride (anything with The Rock or Vin Diesel, for instance). But somehow, this movie just wasn't enjoyable. Sean Patrick Harris didn't add much comic relief (as I expected based on his other roles), and the storyline/characters were just way too cliché. The kung-fu-by-wire shots looked tired and derivative. And I just didn't buy Jamie King and her troop of misfits (who hang out in their "secret" subway hideout! Zoinks!)
I'd go ahead and skip this one. But if you do see it, be sure to watch the alternate ending to see how awful this movie could have really been.
