Frank Martin is back. Jason Statham is the new action hero :lol: I kinda like this movie, although it is clearly one of those movies designed for boys, and the fact that it's complete nonsense and also a bit stupid, if we want to say it... let me tell you. This time Frank is in Miami, and the movie starts with him waiting in the car while a girl and her "tough" friends try to rob him and steal his car... no surprise that he can beat them all,after all he's a trained special forces soldier and they're just thugs, but there's more: these are american criminals without guns, and worst of all this Miami schoolgirl is dressed like Sailor Moon... seriously, a teenage girl in Miami dressed like that?? Anyway, moving on, the plot is that Frank is doing a favour to a friend (apparently he has friends) and covering him as a driver for a little rich kid when the kid is kidnapped and poisoned and Frank must save him and a whole lot of other people. In the middle there is a bad girl who likes to shoot a lot and to do it in a bikini wearing garters and high heels, lots lots of make-up and with a tattoo that is shown to us a million times;there are the usual joyrides; there are walls so soft they bring them down with their bodies while fighting, but doors so strong that can cover him from heavy machine guns fire; there's a bomb with handles, and an absurd, crazy plan to kill someone. Policemen are stupid as it is usual for this kind of film, and Frank can avoid bullets like Matrix's Neo..
I mean, it's stupid, very stupid, but it's fun :-) and there's Alessandro Gassman as the bad guy's boss :lol: Jason Statham seems a big enough guy near Tom Cruise or Silvester Stallone, but seems so small near Gassman :lol:
The plot itself was stupid and useless, I mean, there's a guy who looks like the village's fool but is really one of two scientists who developed a very bad poison: they inject the boy then release him so he would breath near his parents thus infecting both of them, then his father would go to an important conference or something and while speaking and breathing he would infect the whole room... wow, what a plan... so Chellini (the one played by Gassman, whose name should really be pronounced Kellini) has the antidote for himself and thinks, what is the safest place to keep it? Inside me, of course, and has a transfusion to inject all the antidote inside himself... of course, why not, what could possibly go wrong injecting in your body a strange purple substance about which you actually know nothing about...
He releases the child as planned, but it's not clear why all of a sudden police shouts "they've found Jack!" but at the place I could only see a locked van, so actually nobody knew what was inside...
and how is it possible for it to be a happy ending at the end, how did they cure everyone? Chellini's blood has become the antidote now or what? If so, they must have blooded him dry because they didn't say it but there were really lots of people who needed it. They only talked about the parents and the people at the conference, but there are also all the cops and the doctor who visited the boy and so probably the doctor's family and who knows who else came in contact with him or the cops... but in this kind of film they don't care, the boy and his parents are fine: happy ending, Jason won, pardon, Frank won.
