    Not a big fan of Jason Sthatham. He's not that great of an actor. He stars in lousy action films and remakes. Pretty much all his films are based on action well he was okay in the Guy Ritchie films but that's it really.

    Statham is great, should be fun. But what's with the title? Show some respect for your elders.

    So it has nothing to do with nor is it a remake of the 1975 Sam Peckinpah film w/James Caan and Robert Duvall?
