She doesn&#8217;t know anything about her life or her past.  She was two months pregnant, at the time, which was her only clue.  She conveniently gets back her memory and &#8220;skills&#8221; from her previous line of work, just as the bad guys from her former life realize she&#8217;s not dead.  They prefer her dead.<\/li>\n<p>  <!--more--><br \/>\n<object width=\"250\" height=\"193\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/oDuma1M09B0&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;color1=0xe1600f&#038;color2=0xfebd01\"><\/param><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"><\/param><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\"><\/param><embed src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/oDuma1M09B0&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;color1=0xe1600f&#038;color2=0xfebd01\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"250\" height=\"193\" align=\"right\" hspace=\"22\"><\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n<li>\n<b>REVIEW:<\/b>  Is a &#8220;killing spree&#8221; socially, legally or morally acceptable if the the guys being killed work for some people who are pretty bad?  I know, this is fiction, and I&#8217;ve given higher ratings to movies with a higher overall body count.  Maybe there&#8217;s a moral message in this movie, but I don&#8217;t know what it is.  As the kill meter keeps ticking, I have the uncomfortable feeling that maybe a lot of people getting killed aren&#8217;t really bad people&#8211;rather just &#8220;security guards&#8221; for bad people.  But again, this is only fiction.  Although a film of this nature should be excused for not being 100% realistic, this one is peppered with a few too many implausible situations.  Example:  the two main characters randomly find walkie talkies when overpowering the bad guys at their stronghold.  The radios work on a frequency that the two heroes are tuned in to; but none of the bad guys intercept their radio conversation.  Another scene shows an explosion on a bridge which is so powerful that it literally rains automobiles (not PARTS of cars, but the entire cars) on the good guys&#8211;yet the explosion leaves the good guys, in their car completely unscathed.  I&#8217;m not sure, but I think that scene breaks some fundamental laws of physics.  And one last quibble with the whole movie:  Geena Davis is really annoying.  I don&#8217;t hate ALL of her movies, but her character in this movie is awful.  On the other hand, the<a href=\"http:\/\/k-line.org\/9\/2010\/04\/11\/top-grossing-actor-of-all-time-still-samuel-l-jackson\/\"> top grossing actor of all time, Samuel L. Jackson<\/a>, puts in a solid performance, which someone compensates for Geena Davis.<\/li>\n<li><b>RECOMMENDATION:<\/b>  <i>This is an &#8220;Action&#8221; movie.  Many people will be highly offended by every movie in this genre because of the violence, bad language and other questionable elements.  However, even if you are a fan of this genre&#8211;<\/i>I&#8217;d recommend you skip this stinker.<\/li>\n<li><b>RATING (out of 5 stars):<\/b>  <span class=\"rating\"><span>&#9733;<\/span><span>&#9733;<\/span><span class=\"empty\">&#9733;<\/span><span class=\"empty\">&#9733;<\/span><span class=\"empty\">&#9733;<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"ag-colorbox info\">\n<h4>MOVIE RATING SYSTEM:<\/h4>\n<p>Start with zero (0) out of five (5) possible STARS<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Add one STAR if it looks like the movie was made by professional film makers&#8211;not 4 or 5 guys with a camcorder.<\/li>\n<li>Add one STAR if the film has a story, theme or plot (optional for horror and\/or zombie movies); or if the movie makes any sense. <\/li>\n<li>Add additional STARS for special effects, acting, good moral message(s), realistic zombies, scariness,<br \/>\ninteresting theme or plot and the like.<\/li>\n<li>Subtract STARS for extreme bad acting, COMPLETELY awful themes\/messages, overall INCREDIBLE trashiness, graphic and persistent lewdness, and the like.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pdfprnt-buttons pdfprnt-buttons-post pdfprnt-bottom-right\"><a href=\"http:\/\/k-line.org\/9\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1899?print=pdf\" class=\"pdfprnt-button pdfprnt-button-pdf\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"http:\/\/k-line.org\/9\/wp-content\/plugins\/pdf-print\/images\/pdf.png\" alt=\"image_pdf\" title=\"View PDF\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/k-line.org\/9\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1899?print=print\" class=\"pdfprnt-button pdfprnt-button-print\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"http:\/\/k-line.org\/9\/wp-content\/plugins\/pdf-print\/images\/print.png\" alt=\"image_print\" title=\"Print Content\" \/><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The movie reviewed here is definitely NOT for children, and not for many other people either.
