This movie sells itself on the "Action Stars", in other words people who want to see this want to because it has Sly, Arnold, Bruce, Jean Claude, and Chuck OMG Norris!!!<br />It was right up my alley and has a high repeatability quotient because there are continuous action sequences. If one doesn't work, hold on five minutes, there will be another one. Jet Li didn't need to stick around because he would be hard pressed to top his early fight scene. They make us wait for the showdown at the end between Sly and JCVD, and when it comes it is a testosterone fueled pissing contest. <br />Keep them coming so all we have to enjoy is not Jason Statham by himself. Stars like these remind me why the 80s ruled but the 2000s don't.
