This movie kicks the ever loving shit out of Snakes on a Plane, and every last one of you that calls it lame is missing the goddamn point. It's spectacularly self-aware, to the point that the music is used at many points along the way as a gag. You can tell even Statham knows this isn't supposed to be taken seriously, but he plays it up because he's got to be the hero stereotype.
It's got a paper-thin premise, but that doesn't mean it's lame. You only say so because you think you have the movie figured out, that it's going to be A or B, but it doesn't play to your expectations so much as play on your expectations.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
