Wow!!!!

zedphelan from , 28th February, 2010

Movie Alert: THIS FILM IS A MUST SEE. Fundamentally a French film but bringing a touch of Hollywood with the likes of Travolta. Action packed from the very beginning and lasts throughout. This film will leave you breathless from all the energy packed scenes. Not only is it full of action but it is highly hilarious too. Travolta played a blinder in this role, I would say he pulls off this role superbly. Then you have the delicious Jonathan Rhys Meyers, who, even though I love him, I was not expecting much as I would never associate him with a film of this genre. But he played your silent assassin without fault, Ok maybe the American accent was a bit dodgy but he stepped up to this role and made it his own. Brilliant!

Steven Seagal?

A Customer from Essex, 3rd March, 2010

This film is like the trash Seagal has been knocking out recently. This is a TURKEY avoid at all costs.

Travolta back in fine form!

A Customer from Beddington, 6th March, 2010

This is actually a pretty decent action film,made possible only due to Travolta's gung ho character with alot of tongue and cheek lines and super fast and furious action. Myers was almost an unnecessary after thought in this movie and most definitely John's sidekick. Good storyline, but I think Myers part could have been better cast with another actor(anyone who acts better and has a better on screen chemistry with Travolta.Meyers just didn't cut it).

Superb action, no time to rest

Buzzinko from , 4th March, 2010

I agree, superbly actioned, fast-paced and much better than many Steve Seagal's movies(if that's what you like) this will not disappoint you ... and who would ever expect something like that from Travolta .. at his age. Well done Trav.

Absolutely rubbish, racist tripe. I am glad I did not have to pay for it.

Suhail Ahmad from Leicester, England, 11th March, 2010

One reviewer stated this film is a turkey. He is absolutely right. Leave aside the blatant, vile racism for the moment. The plot was appalingly idiotic and the performances even more so. The character 'wax' is based on the main bad guy character John Travolta played in 'face off'. A complete reincarnation, but this time incredibly foul mouthed, even more violent and light years more mind numbingly stupid.The anti-hero 'wax' was nothing more than a filthy racist, trigger happy, murderous, psychopath (but that pretty much sums up the FBI, CIA and indeed the american government). No substance to the story at all. Just the same old BNP inspired, zionist endorsed, plot and even then it was badly done. In fact, Mr. Travolta should be deeply ashamed for propagating this racist pile of poo and I sincerely hope this rat vomit film ends his career and more. Make no mistake. It is a racist pile of poo, with constant references to 'pakistani mother f*****rs' and 'ragheads' (a derogatory assenine american term for Arabs). Indeed, hollywood loves to propagate the racist myth that all white people are good guys and all 'baddies' are coloured people, particularly muslims. Refer to the book 'Reel bad arabs, how hollywood villifies a people', by Jack Shaheen. One of the many falsehoods I found deeply offensive in this film is the constant advertising that Arabs and Asians are the kingpins of the drug trade and so they deserve to be brutally murdered by the typical 'white knight' (white being the operative word here). Did you notice that ALL the villains were coloured people and that they all met a brutal death?. The truth is that it is actually the FBI and CIA who control the very existence of the drug trade and that the hundreds of millions of dollars they generate from this filthy business is then pumped back into the american government and their dirty little projects. There are a number of research papers exposing this fact. Try reading 'why do people hate america' by Zia Uddin Sardar and Merryl Wynn Davies. It is a highly acclaimed academic expose and it provides a taste of the above mentioned evil trade. Let us also not forget the american (zionist) government funded organisation, ADL 'Anti Defamtion League'. Read the book 'the ugly truth about the ADL', which contains hard hitting evidence that not only does the ADL receive $70 million funding (p.a.) from the red-neck, hill-billy, yankee government, but that the ADL also has a major share and income in the drug trade. Furthermore, the ADL has been implicated in the assassination of many of its outspoken critics. Bearing in mind these FACTS, it is clear the real criminals are the various branches and cronies of the american government. Whilst I am on the topic of bad guys, terrorists and murderers, let us also not forget the unending support that the american government gives to the illegal, illegitimate, terrorist, murderous, criminal state of Israel (which for 4 decades has refused to sign the 'non proliferation treaty and disclose the extent of its' armageddon arsenal). It is a fact that Israel has the most prolific stockpile of biological, nuclear and chemical warheads in the world and all of these little 'goodies' were donated to israel by america. FACT. Clearly, it is zionist america that is the real terrorist and criminal. I am deeply offended by this filthy, racist film. I am also digusted by the violent killings and the various profanities used to describe the women. When I watch a film, I want to be entertained and I want to enjoy myself. I absolutely do not want to be subjected to racist filth, because I get enough of it in real life (bearing in mind my ethnicity and heritage). It has gotten to the point where a person cant watch a film without being deeply offended (not to mention the constant, subliminal brain washing that entails most films nowadays). This is a sad reflection upon society, as it demonstrates just how mindless, desensitised and uncivilised people are becoming.

Tres Bon!!!!

Maynard from , 3rd March, 2010

Excellent, non-stop actioneer. Loved every moment as did the whole audience at the screening I attended. To foil a terrorist attack John Travolta a highly experienced, if un-authordox, US agent is paired with Jonathan Rhys Meyers a basic assistant to the ambassador, without a clue about field work and shooting baddies! The chemistry and humour between these two is excellent with mutual respect growing as the plot evolves.
All I can say is go and see the film, it's bl**by excellent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
