Review

i think i saw number 1, 2, and 4 of this series. 4 was awful and turned me off of the idea of watching this installment, but meryl insisted so i went along with it. as weird as it is to say, this film actually had a tender side and was much more human than i expected. there’s a budding family and an intimacy that the gang has that makes you feel like maybe spending time watching all these characters wasn’t such a waste after all. of course it’s also a great showcase for the talents of all the stunt people and coordinators who dream up some of the more wacky stunts you’re likely to see. it’s a fun film with some good tongue in cheek humor to tide you over between action scenes.
