The Stranger (2010 Video)
2/10
The Brawn Identity....
13 January 2011
Warning: Spoilers
Steve Austin plays a man who cannot remember a thing, apart from how to fight and grunt a little dialogue and remember some numbers.

We first meet the big man when he is disguised as Santa Claus and running away from a SWAT team. Why? because he's just saved a little girls life.

Making sense so far? nope, it got me too.

All the connotations and silly flashbacks indicate that Steve was in up to his neck with the bloke from Windtalkers, and didn't want to break the law.

So his wife and kid blow up, and he loses his memory.

It all leads to silly punch ups and Austin looking menacing at a few people every now and again.

The film is too busy, and tries to be too clever for it's own good. it fails miserably and makes the whole thing too complicated, when it should be just a formulaic Bourne-lite action movie.

Like the titular character, you'll soon forget this exists.
