Though there’s some great dialogue and some well-staged bravado, an unintentionally distracting schmaltziness smothers what would otherwise be a chemically-imbalanced buddy action pic. Hats off to Besson and Morel for giving it a shot though. Leave it to the Americans to make gunplay and friendship one in the same. An even more solid nod to Travolta for a solid return to characters that retain their testicles (or other similarly functioning equipment).
Yay: If you think Keffiyehs are a fashion statement.
Nay: If you have a hard time swallowing the fact that Jonathan Rhys Meyers is supposed to pull off “bookish”.
