★ 2/10
An initially enthralling setup that quickly deflates itself with silly comic book villains, crude frat boy humor and deeply unlikable protagonists. Even Bruce Willis' performance cannot save the story that loses it's breath by the midpoint. The ending kind of salvages it, but it comes too little, too late. Skip this one.
