I agree with your review all the way, Andy. This is a fun movie, but I'll tell ya: There's less suspension of disbelief involved watching WWE pro wrestling vs. watching this!

I didn't care for Desplat's score much, either. Every complaint that Media Ventures' detractors have about those scores...I have about this score.

Did you get the feeling, Eric, that the movie had been shortened near the end?

(SPOILERS)

I mean, we're on one narrative line with Willis trying to save those kids, and then when he does, it's basically dropped altogether and we're off to the second ending....just didn't flow right.

VERY abrupt and sudden shift. More than once, I felt like they tried to merge stories from TWO seperate movies and somehow make them work into one.
