I'm clawing for the zero, but will settle for 1/10 because the opening scene made sense (rest didn't). Watching this movie was similar to being in purgatory yourself, it never seems to end, and you REALLY REALLY want it to.
Alright, the start of this movie seemed like it might be alright, but it failed to progress anywhere from a slow, depressing talk-fest. This would have been alright, except the dialogue made barely any sense.
The action scenes were sporadic and very scarce, and for such a poorly thought out movie perhaps they could have covered up with some more action scenes to detract from the painfully terrible everything else.
The actors seem to change accents from Australian, to American, then to something I never want to hear again - all in the same sentence, which I suppose isn't too bad thing, but its hard to concentrate.
The cover of the movie is an exact replica of that of underworld, and most of the action scenes are ripped directly from "the matrix" and one from "the transporter", but they are most definitely the best part of the movie.
The ending.... well frankly I'm proud of myself for not walking out... the good guy fights the bad guy, bad guy turns out to be his brother (wha...?) they fight almost to death, at which point the bad guy suddenly changes his mind and uses his last energy to heal gabriel.. gabriel then commits suicide for, as far as i can tell, no reason - in fact I would say they included this twist solely to have a scene where he is falling from a roof, so they could say something clever about a fallen angel.
Worst sex scene ever thrown in for absolutely no reason, I was neither entralled or aroused.
In summary, I don't understand how this story was ever approved for mainstream, or how it could get positive reviews. I felt like I was having a terrifying acid trip and it wouldn't end, the only thing that stopped me from beating my head against the wall until I passed out was the fact I was laughing so hard at this mess I couldn't get up.
Run for your lives! There may be a sequel.....
