Top review. Keep Calm Dog. I reckon if Scott Adkins was around in the 80s he'd be a very big star.

As it is, he even struggles having a fan base in his "home" in the UK. But that doesn't stop him having decent success in quite a few movies in recent years. Also while I'm not sure if he's big in Japan tonight , I do know he's big in Germany. But even over here this particular movie will have some issues. Or rather limited success to be more specific.

While the movie does try to give the whole thing a slightly different taste with its story it doesn't work that well overall. Also the action scenes are not the best he's done, stunt wise that is. If you're a fan of his work, this may be worth a look, but everyone else should probably spend their time otherwise. Details Edit. Release date August 4, United States. United States.

I side more with those who interpret it as the former, but I can understand the viewpoint of the latter. It is gratuitous, but it adds flair to the resolution. I think I would have enjoyed the movie equally without it, though. From an acting standpoint, Blake Lively makes a compelling case that she doesn't have what it takes to play this sort of a role; she lacks the chops to carry the elements of the movie in which she is expected to dominate. It's hard to accept that her Ophelia is the kind of sex goddess muse who inspires men to kill or to die.

These two have a full-blown "bromance," but the same degree of chemistry is not evident between either of these men and Lively. Her most convincing scene is one in which she shares a meal with Salma Hayek.
