For the first half hour I thought it was a parody of Hollywood movies, especially Michael Bay's movies. I mean, a car explodes in the opening sequence after hitting a chair! And then I thought it was a bit to serious to be a parody. I checked the director. It was Michael Bay. This movie is just a pile of clichés, with a lot of explosions and by the number action sequences. If you're into that kind of movie, this one is for you. If not, unplug your brain and maybe you'll spend a nice evening anyways.
