A millionaire decides to take down a dictator- in the most obtuse way possible.

This film opens with probably the longest most action packed car chase I have ever seen. tyres screech, cars explode, people lean out of windows firing machine guns or somersault off roof tops. It is a massive attack on the senses. It is also very hard hitting and gory. Bad guys are thrown through their windscreens to have their limbs crushed under wheel. Innocent bystanders are mowed down or catapulted through shop windows.

This is a reoccurring theme. The bad guys are slaughtered in the most gruesome and imaginative way. And they just keep coming.

The action is split up by lots of flash backs about how the team was assembled and a few glossy sex scenes.

Ryan Reynolds quips his way through the carnage and it is all great. The whole plan is as crazy as a bag of frogs and if that bothers you then you are probably looking at the wrong movie.

The constant action and gore felt relentless and a little wearing. If this is your thing though I think you will probably love it.
