Graphic and 3D effect is really good, alot of the time, i can't really tell if they filmed it like what they did in Mission imposible. But of course, this building doesn't exist in real life. so it must be visual effect. But it's really good.

The plot is not stupid, but nothing special about it. My biggest complain about it is the lack of tension in the plot. I don't feel that on the edge when it has people's life on the line, nor do i feel satisfy when hero achieve a small victory.

And the rest of the movie is meh tier. Rock doesn't really have much acting and character development in this film. I like the subplot between him and his old mate on the FBI HRT team.

Fight scenes are muh. all the fight scene without the rock in it are shaky AF, hurt my eyes to watch. The final show down is cool, but it also sacrifices the geography and confuses me the F out. Secondary characters are muh. Too much time on the rocks' children and wife while their action didn't have any real impact.

Good representation of Hong Kong police tho. They didn't do much, but they ain't stupid california cop in die hard 1 either.

and i hate the short hair asian QT bad girl. Just unlikeable. i guess that is a character development win?
