Quotes:
[first lines]
DJ: It's shaping up to be a beautiful day here in the city of angels, where Republican presidential candidate, Patricia Lonsdale makes a quick, and somewhat less serious campaign stop to dedicate the opening of a new recreation center for disadvantaged youth in the Venice area. This marks the governor's first trip to California since winning...
British DJ: Due to an increased threat-level, the governor's visit will be marked by heighten security.

Involuntarily funny, 19 April 2008
3/10
Author: claudg1950 from Argentina

Action scenes --especially those taking place in Barcelona-- are filmed as if in slow motion, with telegraphed blows. The characters behave oddly. The former hit-man --whose life has been threatened by fellow gangsters intending to stop him from giving testimony before the courts-- is paraded by his bodyguard (the movie's hero) all over Barcelona. The bad guys are incredibly clumsy as well: horrible aiming with the guns and slow motion movements, thus allowing the hero to conveniently kill all of them. The two police officers assigned to assist in the protection are dumb: they open the door at a simple knock, without preparing themselves (and, lo and behold! both are instantly killed by the bad guy, at the other side of the door). And so on. One point for the effort of making an action movie in an unusual environment. They should keep trying: it was a good idea. But, even though it is a relatively simple genre, shooting these action films takes some practicing and learning too.
