Nobody in Europe is capable of saving her, not even the police. Everybody in Europe is corrupt and need killing and it takes an American to save the day.<BR/><BR/>And that is not the bit I was disappointed with, My problem is that the lead actor, the writer and the director are all European!! What a sell out!<BR/><BR/>Awful film and an awful script.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25895692.post-66342153178666735532009-01-29T20:40:00.000-08:002009-01-29T20:40:00.000-08:00Oh don't go see it.

As much as I don't mind him writing for films, some directors need to get back behind the camera and direct instead of "retiring".<BR/><BR/>Love all the lolcat pics btw. :)R. K.
