7/10
Great comedy and action!
5 February 2010
This was a great movie. I read a review from someone who obviously does not understand American humor-he states, "I have watched many American movie and enjoyed them but this one is a disaster." I could not disagree more. I saw a screening of this movie on January 28 and I loved it. The humor was great as was the acting (This is the best performance John Travolta has ever given in my opinion). I loved John's first appearance. He is being held in an airport because they won't allow him to go through with "energy drinks". He is arguing with a security guard (In the most irreverent way possible) and then steps in the second main character who is baffled that the government would send him to get this joke out of a situation (John has an ear pierced, a silver necklace, a shaved head and a leather jacket)that isn't even very serious. He walks in and stamps a clearance sticker onto the energy drinks and John turns around and says (to the very rude security guard), "Check mate mother ******!" You then find out what was so important about the energy drinks in the car-since it's a spoiler I won't say but it just gets better from then on.

About half way through the movie there is a huge twist that I did not see coming that was a great direction for the movie to take. This is my first movie review on here and I really don't know how this was or how long I should make it. All I can say is I liked this movie far better than The Book Of Eli or Avatar which I both loved.
