The only reason I rated this as many as 4/10 is the always delightful presence of Michelle Monaghan, who I've loved since her wonderful turn in Shane Black's far superior action comedy "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang," opposite the pre-Marvel Robert Downey Jr. (and featuring the funniest ever queer spy guy, Val Kilmer as Gay Perry). A couple of supporting performances by Ciarán Hinds and Maggie Q help to counteract Mark Wahlberg's awful lead and contribute to making this drivel barely watchable overall. I might try to share some of the unmemorable plot points, but I only like watching movies with memorable characters, and Ms. Monaghan and the character of her toddler are the only ones present here. Along with more plot holes than Swiss cheese. Did we need a full two, mind-numbing hours to include more pointless & bloodless stunt work? For the love of God, no, of course we didn't. If you think seeing Wahlberg's abs or Monaghan under a sheet in a luxury Vegas suite is worth the wasted hours you can never get back, go ahead and squander it away on this one, folks.
