Negative Positive
Title: Is it Bond, or fantasy martial arts?
Review: Frank Martin returns in a situation he would never choose to be in, acting as a driver and body guard (more or less) for a little rich boy.I don't mind the lame premise of the movie as I can appreciate mindless action flicks as a diversion. But there wasn't enough plot to keep me really interested, and the movie couldn't decide if it was James Bond pushing the technical envelope, or a Kung Fu movie where the moves are a bit magical (and less than plausible).The acting was bland and the directing poor. It felt like an number of scenes were shot and chopped together to make a film. It is never really made clear why the evil one's patrons want all those people dead, and how the virus would really work.Using well worn cliche characters didn't help either: a beautiful tough woman wielding heavy weapons with not a soft spot in her heart or the tall, dark, handsome evil assasin.An OK diversion, but not good cinema.
