This was a great movie and I highly recommend it. It's got bullets, explosions, blood, and fist fights! My kinda film!!!
The only fault I have with the movie is the editing. It jumped around a bit too much. I know they were doing that for the tension factor, but it was a little to disconnected for my taste.
I think I liked most that it didn't take me exactly where I thought it would. The story line was not that predictable, so it really kept me engaged in what was happening. Engaged and surprised.
Denzel Washington was brilliant and Ryan Reynolds definitely gets a shout out. They were both very good in their roles.
Favorite Line: "I only kill professionals."

Okay - so McG, the director, executive produced a lot of the Supernatural TV shows and, yes, I love that show!
That trivia tidbit aside, the movie was cute. It wasn't an amazing film or anything, but I didn't regret spending money to see it in a theater. There were some good action parts, which were necessary for me since I'm not the biggest fan of chick flicks.
I think the movie was extremely predictable and Chelsea Handler was hilarious! She wasn't predictable at all! Well, I guess she was, but she was awesome! I liked her character the best. I'd recommend seeing it just for her part. She makes me laugh.
There were definitely some funny moments in the movie that made the audience laugh out loud. Other than that, it was pretty much text book Hollywood.
Favorite Scenes: Chelsea and Reese talking and being listened to by the guys.
