Sorry Jason Statham fans, but his movie has the honor of being the first Rotten Apple I have seen since I started this blog over six months ago. The writing is sub par, the acting nonexistant and the action very pedestrian. Jason plays a “mechanic,” or hired hit man, who staged his own death so that he can have a quiet, ordinary life in Rio. Of course, he gets pulled back in because of an implausiable plot device involving Jessica Alba as the least convincing orphanage worker I have ever seen in a movie. Of course, there was the obligatory and completely unnecessary shot of her swimming underwater. The highlight of the movie was when Statham shot and killed a whole clown car full of bad guys lurking on a boat. In other words, I would skip this one!
