Setup (I) (2011)
1/10
Awful, just.. awful.
13 September 2011
I started watching this expecting a bad action flick, but jeez. This is the worst film I've seen in a long, long time. Inconsistent, poor-acted, poor-directed, poor-written trash riddled with plot holes.

To think that 22 million dollars was spent on this makes me depressed. I am sure that at least 21 of those could have been saved by not hiring the poster names, and the film would have been better off. When you are peddling garbage like this you DON'T want to get the audience's expectations up, even if the expectations already are low.

Do yourself a favor. Don't waste your time on this. And for god's sake, don't waste your money.

Vengeance (2009)
3/10
Childish story and lame action
11 December 2009
I was actually looking forward to this film. Older European man in Asia looking for payback, hong kong setting and guns blazing. Seems OK, right? But no.

I am surprised this one is rated so high. Pretty standard revenge story with a failed attempt at being original, dull main character and clumsy action scenes. I can enjoy stylish "asian" action, with dramatic slow-mo gun fights and If I was fourteen I might have enjoyed this one, but... come on. Failed drama, failed action. Halfway in I just lost interest in the old geezer's quest for revenge. One of those movies you're better off passing.
