What I knew going in:
DC Comic's adult Vertigo series gets an action movie based on the comic book of the same name. Zoe Saldana of Star Trek is the only notable star. The director, Sylvain White, did Stomp the Yard and I'll always know what you did Last Summer, so no hope there.
Hype:
Overall Meh. The lack of star power combined with a mediocre director never inspires me to think this would be worth seeing in the theaters.
Opening Thoughts:
Hey this isn't as bad as I'd heard. The action is halfway decent if far fetched and... Oh boy. A Small Tracking Dart is fired into the side of a moving SUV and nobody notices it? And then it explodes and the SUV goes STRAIGHT UP?! Ugh.
Bottom Line:
It only gets worse from there. The action sequences make no sense whatsoever. They are confusing, sporadic, and pathetic. The attempt to have 6 main characters each do something cool in the sequences ruin them completely. Since this is a complete action film it makes it a complete failure. The only cool idea in the movie is a Sonic WMD (a "Snuke") which has an awesome SFX sequence but it nowhere near makes up for the lackluster script. This pile of crap might debut in the bargain BluRay bin.
