This is a raw story about the ultimate revenge, and it plays out nicely. Differs from the original, which was just spectacular, but this is till a good film. Brolin does the character justice.
This was a good movie that came out around the same time as Olympus, but it was a bit more jokey. You can tell that Tatum was acting coming right off of 21 Jump St., and with Jaime Foxx as the POTUS, you had to expect it. Fun film though.

I didn't know what to expect, but this was a nice treat. It was respectful enough to the original for the die hard fans, but different enough to be its own film and stand firm.
