You can't fuck with Dolph Lundgren, that man is a machine made of metal and brains.

I think if I begin to imagine your writings as the same "mentally ill Paul trying a new career" I might actually see your inane points.

"Jason Statham is so motherfucking cool that doesn't ever need to act."

Word.

I hope someone in this movie at least has the common decency to say "I'm gettin' too old for this shit."

"They're not physically better than ever: They're becoming old men"

Did you see Stallone in the weigh-in scene from the last Rocky movie? That mofo could still kick the ass of half-the-planet. Yeah, he's an old man, but he's in just fine shape to be an action hero.

Lundgren rules. The dialogue is childish and plot idiotic. But things blow up and autoshotguns apparently have 300 round magazines that explode on impact.

Dolph Lundgren makes Chuck Norris look like a muppet baby.

Stallone's face is painful to look at.

Stallone seems convinced that his steady diet of human growth hormone is preserving him, so posterity can enjoy him for a century to come. Won't he be surprised when the piano falls on his head?

If a movie is so boring that you need a mental meta-experiment to keep your brain occupied, that is probably a sign that you'd be better off just leaving and finding something else to do.

"Rather than playing a boring action character, each of the actors was instead playing an old character from their glory days who decided to make an action movie."

So... Randy Couture also playing himself.

My mission is to re-invent a movie by coming up with a thought experiment for it.

Appeals to the MSTie in me.
