Excitement in the Big Apple

This movie fits squarely in the category of "enjoyable entertainment," but not excellent entertainment. As has been noted in other reviews, some of the gaps in the script and its believability are the size of Central Park, but the movie delivers as fun escapism. At times the acting is weak and the characters become parodies of themselves (Ed Harris is unusually lame in his role), but if you accept this as surface-level entertainment, and don't expect Academy Award-level acting, it is a fun movie.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Begging for a Sequel!

I thoroughly enjoyed this movie! It is risky to have some big name stars relegated to supporting roles and to count on a beginning actress to carry the movie, but Gina Carano delivers. This former real-life martial artist is not ready to win any Academy Awards yet, but she brings a realism to her character and certainly to her fight scenes. Multiple plot twists involving rogue spies are becoming a common movie theme, but this movie does a good job with it, and balances drama with humor very nicely. Carano will improve with experience, and I'd certainly go see a sequel with her character. This fast-paced show was good entertainment!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Plenty of dark action!

The newest installment of the Underworld series does not disappoint in its rollercoaster excitement, fast-paced photography and plot twists. Of course, the entire saga still revolves exclusively around Selene, who is both the driving force for the action and the recipient of all of the attacks. However, a new side to Selene is revealed, and Beckinsale does a good job of balancing the character in this new aspect. Plenty of action and very dramatic to see it in 3D!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

An Enjoyable Thriller

This was a typical Wahlberg movie; a mix of a street-tough guy thrown into a convoluted scenario that forces him to make bad decisions, along with exaggerated bad-guy characters, reasonably improbable events, unexpected plot twists and good travel photography. The action is steady, but likely a bit violent for youngsters. It was an enjoyable bit of entertaining escapism!
Yes, I recommend this movie.
