This movie was certainly full of action and had a body count of about 200+ but it really didn't have much of a plot.  When the movie started you couldn't figure out which were the good or bad guys.  As it moved on, you continued to be confused.  I love action films and especially don't mind a little romance intermingled with it, but his fell short.  You had to wonder why the main character never got hit by a bullet even when there were 50 guys shooting at him simultaneously.  It was beyond ridiculous which made it somewhat of a comedy.  I was glad that I was busy sewing the entire time the movie was on.  Otherwise, I would have been bored.  My favorite part was when the main character parachuted out of a jet and at least 50 guys jumped out after him.  They all were shooting in the air and everyone managed to get killed except for the main character.  The shot of the scenery around him as he walked away cracked me up!  There were bodies everywhere but yet he was fine.  It was hysterical in a sick sort of way.  Rent it if you have absolutely nothing better to do.
