Revealing mistakes: When the fight is about to begin there are 4 screens displaying the countdown and the words "Ready, Fight" in English, Japanese, Russian and Arabic. However, the Arabic words appear to be translated using some free online translation services because the words seem out of syntax, incomplete, and the letters are not joined together, which is wrong since Arabic is a script. more

Enjoyable, 7 September 2008
8/10
Author: happyvibes from United States

I enjoyed the movie. The locations were visually interesting. I liked the camera work. There was a lot of action, but everything happened so fast it was hard to follow the action scenes. Vin Diesel is interesting and entertaining to watch, and if you enjoy his movies, then you will like this one.

I am going to have to read the book to understand what the plot really was about. The explanation of the plot seems to have been sacrificed for more action. I like reading sci-fi, so this gives me something to look up when I go to the bookstore. When I read the book, I will think of the movie and it will be fun.

If you like exotic locations and nice camera work, fast action scenes and don't mind some foul language, its a fun movie.
