Synopsis: young administrative assistant to diplomacy gets more than he was hoping for in advancement to a little field action when lands himself a partner in Charlie Wax. Meeting him en route as a contact for as far as Wax can throw him, I mean use him to find whom Wax has been assigned to deliver his cans of woop ass to. All intel abt Wax is not available or relevant he just in uses any and all to get the job done, tht which we're not even sure of, barr a round-about sorta way.

My review: A much more super fast paced and violent (shoot him anyway kinda flick) than I anticipated. Though having seej Travolta in action mode 'Taking of Pelam 1 2 3' and 'Sword fish' (a bit older), quite recently. Both displayed this heavey hitter begging to don a special agent cap and get a superior one in for the good guys side. If you saw 'Taken' (easily the best all out guy action shoot em, this year prior) with Liam Neeson-you get this character guy, but who's still working and killing em for a living to get the next guy up the ladder, bit by bit.

The co-star Johnathan Rhys Meyers I haven't seen so much of though recognising him around waspleased though alot quirky French sense of humour (I definatly do not like) side to side kick of Wax (Travolta). As a diplimatic assistant very educated, excelling in strategy and 'a never killed a man' type of novice, asked to partner up with Wax, one if not 'the super get the job done' front line agent gun guy. Their combo was almost funny, 'They' were not.

The screen play (of continuous shoot outs) was diverse enough, if thats possible, you need a keen eye. Not too boring in any way and complimentory to the cresendo, of a peacefull conclution (no terrorist backlash) I'll let you decide.
