audience reaction: The audience liked this movie. And someone gave it a "Hands Clapper" ending.
recommendation: It's a good enough Action Movie. But I suspect that people--horndogs, especially--will go to see this movie for one reason only: Deb ( Paula Patton )! If you believe that Paula Patton is HOT ( and she definitely is by any horndog's set of standards ), then You Must See This Movie!!!
spoiler alert! Okay, the only way that the restaurant's gas cooking range would explode like that was if the cook turned-on all the gas stoves and left them on but the pilot lights somehow remained unlit. But the cook would have known whether or not the stove-top pilot lights were functional the moment that he started cooking that morning. And why would a cook turn-on all the gas stoves when he wasn't using all of them in the first place? Why didn't the neighbors hear the gunshots? If you are a bad guy with a beautiful, hot and sexy young female hostage totally and helplessly at your mercy, I don't think you'd remain faithful to your fat and/or ugly old wife!!! ( 'Just sayin .... ) The initial shoot-out at the ranch was pure B.S.
fyi: It is commonly believed among Conspiracy Theorists that the government has a "black budget" which is funded by drug money.
I prefer electric stoves over gas stoves. And this movie clearly shows the reason for my personal preference!
word of advice: Don't mess with the government.
tidbits: I went to the Dollar Tree Store in the Target Shopping Center first, to buy some stuff. That was when I decided to buy the Red Velvet Cupcake Bites to sneak into the theatre with me.
At 10:10 p.m., some idiot seated somewhere in the back rows yelled out, "No!" I don't know what the heck that was all about.
