    A hundred dollars on your hair, fifty on your nails, fifty on make-up, two hundred dollars for an outfit. You ladies spend four hundred dollars to bring home a thug that ain't worth ten cents!

    LOL....no...his brother Peter Kreig blew up in the helicopter in #3, remember?

    I am a fan of this series, so will def watch it. Maybe not in the theater, but will get my hands on an advance copy once available to watch at home.

    I liked it. It was OK fare. Maybe about as good as the last one, which wasn't that great either.

    Pretty much this.

    It was dumb as Hell, and so far from being even remotely possible that it was hard to get in to. It is not without its charms, but I spent a good portion of it muttering to myself "Oh come on."

    The plot holes are ENORMOUS but Bruce delivers like he always does.

    If we take it for what it is, which is 1.5hrs of shooting, one liners, some eye candy, and just random non sense i think it takes a 4 out 5 on my book.
    I had a funny signature before, and it went to waste with the switch!
