Mean Machine



The Good:

Good in that Lock, Stock/Snatch kind of way.

A good ensemble cast - fun to try to pick out who you have seen where.

This is, without a doubt, my all time favorite Jason Statham role. He is maniacally brilliant as The Mad Monk. So much fun.

The Bad:
Though I love Vinnie Jones as well - this is not his best role - which is ironic since both soccer and being dethroned from soccer due to questionable actions are both things to which he should be very familiar.

The constant snotty spitting of the "mad-bomber" main villain made me nauseous numerous times.

All in all:
If you liked Snatch and other films in that line - then you will enjoy this as well. Even if you didn't watch it just to see Statham as Monk.
