Not bad. I wasn't blown away by the story, but Vicco seems to be an accomplished actor.

Very brutal in short segments.

Coming to us from Netflix. My wife is all a-twitter about the nekkid fight scene. I imagine it will be pretty ugly.

It was ugly, but the movie's still good overall. "A History of Violence" is also worth renting if you haven't seen it.

I agree "A History of Violence" was an awesome movie.

I saw EP last night. Viggo did a great job. The story was OK, not great.

The bathroom fight scene was the typical movie 2 on 1, where the 2 bad guys agree to attack our hero one-at-a-time, ensuring their defeat. Reminding us once again of an SAS troop's slogan: Don't play with your food.

Johno,

I thought the one cat dropped back to keep an eye out for trouble, which given the Russians being some tricky fuckerz, that could be a plausible kinda thing.

I guess that makes sense.
But hadn't they seen Viggo's other movies? Even in GI Jane, where he gets saved by some chick w/big tits & no hair, he was badass.
They had to know he'd be tough to take out.

Plus he was Aragorn AND Satan!

I think that those badass throat-cuttin' Chechens didn't think it would take both of them at once to kill one chauffeur in a towel.
