Review of This Means War (2012) by Enrica C — 13 Nov 2012

Not as bad as I thought it would be, but neither an exciting movie. "This Means War" starts with a very lame premise: two friends who try to get the same girl. Needless to say, she'll end up having to choose between the two. Well, the title of this movie is not only inappropriate, but also wrong -- I still can't see the connection to what happens in the movie afterwards -- also, it's not clear what they actually do for living and the fact that they were spying on each other to check the progress was just really lame and childish.

There are a few good action scenes. And there's a bad guys whom I'm not really sure fits the story. "This Means War" is somewhere between a romantic comedy and an action movie: it wants to do both, but that doesn't work. It reminded me of "Mr & Mrs Smith", but it's not up to those levels because those actually made sense. This plot kind of doesn't.
