And went swiftly downhill after that. Could've been great. Settled for being a dumb action movie instead. Shame.

Talking to a wall and fighting over something so simple to solve-- is this not part of the human condition?

Was the audience not thinking as one-- "Just put on the fucking glasses"?

I thought the movie had a genuinely interesting set-up with real possibilities but that fight was just tedious and the story went into a totally different direction after that. I accept that I may be in the minority.

"Just put on the fucking glasses", was exactly what I was thinking.

Abbott has the line, "This is one of the finest fights I've ever written!" So yeah, you've got to be an actor to succeed in wrestling!
