i havent seen hell ride - but let me say this ..
you can have dumb fun mindless action - done cleverly ..
there's a difference between stupid unimaginative cliches and ones done with some thought to them. i thought Crank was well done mindless action - so was Shoot 'em Up.
its a genre thats been done to death - frankly i got sick of it - so to see some new life breathed into it is refreshing to me ...
we've come too far and thanks to home video - we've become somewhat more sophisticated due to prolongued exposure...
the action film has to be smarter these days.
case in point : The Marine.
acceptable 20 years ago - now it's just a fucking stupid waste of time and an insult to the basest intelligence.
