This movie has it all--action, adventure, Jason Statham, Donald Sutherland, and the cherry on top of this non-stop thrill-ride, Ben Foster.
Statham has his action movie formula down to a science by now, and except for a misstep or three ("Crash 2", anyone....anyone...), he mostly hits his man (pun intended). This film delivered on the action level, but thanks to Foster also connected in an emotional way that rarely happens in this genre.
Be prepared to see the famous "Statham Stare" when the actor breaks the fourth wall to intimate intimacy instead of actually committing to the moment, but know that more important walls come down as soon as we are in the presence of the acting genius' of Sutherland and Foster.
Watch this and know...barring some Lindsay Lohan-like meltdown, Ben Foster will have an Oscar one day.
