This was the old Hitman at the end of his carreer finally breaks his own rules and tries to turn good. You defiinately could see the Honk Kong style influance. The action was very gun heavy with only a little martial arts mixed in. And once again, just like Yoko Ono, women always screw up a good team. The end was disappionting. The female eye candy was good, but the romance kind of got in the way of a potentially good action movie.
Overall a good Sci-Fi action adventure movie with Vin Diesel as a gravel voiced mercenary soldier for hire (not a big stretch for him). Lots of high powered action with the Russians as the heavys (just like old times). Some of the stunts were way over the top, like fighting fighter UAVs with a snowmobile and a hand gun or trying to outrun a handheld missle on foot. The UAVs and the Cyborg technology are actually things that are in development today, so tech geeks get a thrill seeing into a possible future. The product ad placement was overwelming, especially in the New York sequences. I guess they needed the money to pay for all the special effects. In conclusion, the action was entertaining, plot was so-so and the acting was a little flat.
