This is one movie where the trailer is much better than the movie, most because, Arnold Schwarzenegger, is in almost every trailer scene. The movie, on the other hand, he is rarely seen for most of the beginning of the movie, sort of. Using a documentary style format for this supposedly funny parody of the assassin genre, it initially has its semi-appeal, but the fascination begins to wear off and its somewhat hard to distinguish between parody and just poor writing, acting, or execution. A lot of the movie begins to seem so haphazard and improvised that it seems to lose the smart delightful parody motif along the way. So in a number of places in the movie become slow, boring and otherwise just amateurish. It loses any credibility and becomes a bad assassin movie because these characters, supposedly experts in the respectful fields of death, are so bad they seem to be actors trying to come across pretending to know their craft. So between an acceptable beginning, extensive explosions and a lot of cars, and during the prominent screen time of Schwarzenegger, the movie suffers. The is some adherence to a plot, but its loose and not always entertaining. One of the best parts of the movie is listening to what seems to be Schwarzenegger singing a ways into the closing credits.
