Search: Directed by Paul WS Anderson

The over-abundance of cliched and banal action movie situations - the would-be witty one-liners, the should-have-been-impressive set-pieces etc - that never seem to have quite the impact the film-makers desired.

So long as you don't care about how cars go or how reality works or how people can continue to get away with making movies without a single credible acting performance, or anything, you'll almost certainly enjoy yourself.

Way too inspired for the end result to be intentional.

If all you’re after is monsters, chases, CGI explosions, fighting and two popular action stars (who do get an opportunity to fight each other, never fear), then this may well work for you.

The film is about death, whether in the arena, or out

It is to writer/director Paul Anderson's credit that he retains the tension throughout.

Audiences really need to wake up and put the nail in the Anderson Evil coffin once and for all.

Everything hangs on Billy, but he's empty.

The characters in the film are very much 2D.
