Just watch it. So much badass in that movie, I dont even know where to begin. I loved it more than Inception. |

That movie is all about kicking ass. It doesn't try to be anything more. It's an interesting thing that we humans enjoy seeing people die in movies a lot...while in real life when we hear about someone dieing we're like "Damn!   "Watch the movie, it's cool! |

It is natural selection at work. The reaction of a lot of people (ie the 'damn') in my view is down to societal conditioning. Especially if you did not personally know the person. Ask your grand or great grand parents how different things were even in their day, not so long ago. Death is a part of life. |

I don't believe so. Soldiers have always had psychological problems with killing people. I've heard plenty of veterans saying stuff like "I killed so many people, fuck!" I for example feel sad when I hear good people dieing in accidents and so on... I didn't knew anyone from the 9.11 catastrophy but I felt sad for those people and their families...and so did many other people on this planet. I wasn't depressed but I didn't enjoy at all receiving the news. Natural conservation is sometimes more powerful than natural selection in my belief...but I would prefer to speak in terms of humanity instead of evolutionary psychology. Too many writers, poets and artists have tried to make us feel more than smarter monkeys... so I'll make them that joy  I believe people are capable of compassion or empathy without being conditioned to do so. |

An awesome love letter for big dumb '80's action movies. Inception was more my kind of movie...very cerebral. Apples and oranges.

Vandamme, and Jackie Chan dodged a bullet. it's like those old Chuck Norris Movies. I tend to rather like the meaning behind the movie. or the message for that matter! |
