Like "The Transporter" bad, or worse?

Guy Pearce is 100% more entertaining than Statham in everything he's ever done. Also this had Peter Stormare.

That doesn't mean either one is worth watching.

Well of course.  I was just speaking in relative overall movie terms, sans the actors, producers, etc.  I admit that I'll pop on a Statham-flick for the ridiculous lulz (such as being able to ramp a car over a wreck yard, flip the car in a spiral in order to have the crane hook grab the bomb attached to the bottom of the car off, land the car back on all four tires without a crash, and ride off into the distance while the bomb explodes beyond him  why so serious? DRILLING AND MANLINESS), but is this movie about on the same level?

So, the only Statham movie I'll allow to be called "popcorn-worthy" is Crank - which was provably good in terms of brainless action flicks.

This is not provably good. There is no reason whatsoever to watch this, over say - the opera scene in Fifth Element on loop for 90 minutes.

Statham hasn't done anything good since Snatch really.

The Expendables perhaps, in a raw schlock type of way

Terry Crews /= Jason Statham.

Also, I second Schild, Lockout was pretty much dreck.

That was a satisfying moment of cinema right there.

Now there's a copywriter who loves their job:

Quote
Assault rifles are all well and good, but when you really need to tear a person to pieces, nothing fills the air with metal quite like a combat shotgun. And for those times when a regular combat shotgun isn't generating enough flying body parts, connoisseurs turn to what must be the most outrageously devastating hand-held anti-personnel murder machine in existence: the Atchisson Assault Shotgun, or AA-12.
