I thought the movie was very cliche and predictable.

Too many "hollywood" parts where it's like "yeah... as if that'd happen."

For instance, flipping that car goin 70 mph. Sorry, but ya aren't just gonna up and walk away from a wreck like that

The part in the club where he just so happens to shoot the guy aiming for Max JUST IN TIME. Yeahhhh, right.

...or in the club, when he starts shooting, and people still keep dancing. Mmmkay then. So, half the club is gonna panic and run while the others just keep partying w/ police and hitmen running through the place in plain view?

Low battery on cell phone JUST AS the warning call goes through. OH WOW, what a coincidence!

Max just so happens to park directly under the window where a guy will get thrown out of not even a minute later, huh? Suure.

Sorry, that stuff just ruins movies for me. Suspending disbelief works up to a point.. then it just starts getting ridiculous.

I can go on and on.

[edit]
This would also be acceptable if it was a movie like Indiana Jones.. something completely fictional, adventerous, and fantasy. However... this movie was portrayed to be something that COULD happen in real life.. and that ain't gonna work.
