Fun Stuff

Trivia:

All of the assault weapons featured are Heckler and Koch, with the exception of the M4 wielded by one of the swat operatives at Franks's house. more

Goofs:

Factual errors: The movements of the aircraft after the pilot is shot. In turbine powered corporate aircraft (jet engines are turbines) the aircraft is designed not to stall (losing lift on the wing). Therefore the scene with the plane going straight up, then stopping, and coming (roughly) straight down would not have happened as the automation systems within the plane would prohibit it, pitching the aircraft down well before it even reached that point. The spin the aircraft enters is also impossible for the same reason. An aircraft has to be stalled to spin. The only way the spin would have been possible is with one engine out, if they were on the outer edges of the wings (which they were not). more

Quotes:

Audrey Billings: You said if I needed anything...
Frank Martin: I can't.
Audrey Billings: Why, because of who I am?
Frank Martin: Because of who *I* am.

Action, explosions, total disregard for physics. EXCELLENT., 3 September 2005
8/10
Author: Zawalick from United States

So many critics are already lining up to pick at the plot, the action scenes, and the details it's just sad.

This is an action movie with twists and turns, some believable, some not so. If you liked The Fifth Element, The Professional, Le Femme Nikita, and True Lies, this is your movie. If you grew up on Bond, Dukes, and Blade Runner, you'll love it.

Just relax, ignore all those physics lessons on momentum, dynamics, and forces, and enjoy.

If, on the other hand, you want to pay good money to sit in a theater and keep a mental list of all the problems, bs, bad lines, and so on, it's your life.

Personally, I adapt and enjoy.
