This movie was exactly what I was hoping for- 90 minutes of action with 10 minutes of dialog and plot development mixed in. For those not a fan of gratuitous violence, you'll probably want to skip this one. However, if you've ever been into Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Steve Austin, Jet Li, or Terry Crews, to name a few, you'll probably enjoy this. Statham, Stallone, Li, and Austin are all guys whose movies have been a point of interest for me, and as such I was very impressed with the nuances in the cinematography and choreography. Each of the actors' "signature" styles were incorporated into their individual fight scenes, and in instances where 2 or more were involved, there was a healthy balance of the two. In all, if these actors' movies are your thing, this movie will most definitely be your thing as well.

I personally wish Dolph Lundgren and Stallone would have fought it out some where in there! I Stallone's recent movie to have some interesting undertones. I did really like this movie though and thought it was well done in lieu of big name actors plus the cameo between the three big names was rather funny, but maybe I just have always wanted to see a movie with the three of them in it.
