Implausible. Check.
Ridiculous chase scenes. Check.

Sucks donkeys.

I'm always baffled by people who look for plausibility in an action thriller.

I like to become absorbed in the story when I watch a movie. But I find that I don't have an infinite ability to suspend disbelief. Goofy unreality, like jumping from an overpass onto the top of a trailer traveling at highway speeds (while continuing the gunfight) or the "explosion under the Russian" scene , is purely distracting. I can enjoy a movie with implausibilities as long as there is an interesting story and interesting characters in the mix. The Bourne movies, for example.

This is a movie which relies upon special effects/car chases/gunfights and lacks an interesting story. Not that there's anything wrong with that, it's just not my thing.

Entertaining, but too similar to Mr & Mrs. Smith IMO.

Everyone in the theater laughed when the scene with her in the man disguise came on.
