Both the action and characters in this movie somehow seemed kind of hollow, or empty. The story was okay, but the title has to go. What a dumb title.
Samuel L. Jackson really established himself by playing the same kind of wise-cracking person he has played in some of his other recent films. I would say that he, as he did in Pulp Fiction with the same character, made the movie.
Nothing kills realistic action better than unrealistic human reaction. Why the wise-cracks from Carver amidst a crisis?
I didn’t understand why they threw in Krieg’s stutter or Carver’s racism. If they’re going make the effort to put those into the movie, they should at least have a point. They just didn’t fit into the plot.
