    This was a solid action flick but insanely over-hyped. I expected to be blown away and thought it was merely good. It isn't even the best action movie I've seen this year.

    The Raid might be the best action film I've ever seen.
    Sure why not?

    I would say this was the best action movie I've seen in years, easily. The muy tai was outstanding.

    Are you serious? He's seriously offended that I thought the fighting style in a movie was something else? I never known him to be that sensitive.

    Yeah, this was pretty fantastic. It gets a bit repetitive, the story is the definition of uninspired, and the two-on-one fight, while amazingly choreographed (as is every fight), dragged on a bit too long, but the energy is insane and it's probably the most fun theater experience I've ever had. I went with my dad, brother, and brother-in-law, and we all loved it. My favorite moment:

    The entire (admittedly small) audience was in a fit of awe/laughter after that happened.
