It's like a book club with explosions

The Big Hit

i could comment on the weird chicken scene in which madgyver and i had to curl up we were so uncomfortable (yes, you read that right. i was uncomfortable).
i could comment on the fact that the girl marky mark kidnapped/chickened was probably in prep school and therefore under the age of 18.
i could comment on the strange "drunk dad" subplot.
i could point out all of that.
but instead i only have a few things to say: 1998 (yes, samamual, it really was that ridiculous), trace buster buster buster, unbuttoned shirt, snake tattoo, 80ish minutes, and overly zealous masturbation.
also, as wildfire said, probably some of the best action movie explosions ever.

sidenote: we need some ideas for action movies that have female characters that don't make me want to smack someone.

There is no such thing as a non anoying female in an action movie.

I'm going to have to disagree with Christopher here.

Supporting Evidence:

i. Ashley Judd as Libby Parsons in Double Jeopardy

ii. Natalie Portman as Evey in V for Vendetta

iii. Angelina Jolie as Lara Croft in Lara Croft Tomb Raider

iv. Robin Wright Penn as Princess Buttercup in The Princess Bride

v. Uma Thurman as Beatrix Kiddo in Kill Bill

It's rare for them not to be annoying as hell, but they do exist.
