  1. They should have cut out that romance, it was more annoying than anything else, especially how she acted. HE broke his back, almost died, lost his job and fell into a brutal depression and she acts as if it was the other way around and he just dropped her and even tortures him further for her personal amusement/"revenge". Meanwhile it's not even clear what ever she did beside being a pretty female, but that's enough for him to fall on his knees before her as if she are a goddess. It got better at least, but in the end: why? Why wast so much time on that to begin with? Also why even the whole start, when it's pretty clear how much in love he's still with her, instantly going back as soon as she calls (at least he thinks he's doing that), while she plays the little, pissed of child for a while, but in the end also still loved him anyway and was just a feminist "I need no man" rage trip. And that is stealing so much time in a movie that overall clearly doesn't take itself seriously anyway and should be all about stupid fun.

  2. No, psychopaths are. The thing is, when a man acts like that, you call him just that and worse. When a women does that, you take all blame from them. What is wrong. You should call out evil females just the same way as evil males, yes, also the pretty ones.

  3.  @davidgalinat4257  I mean, kicks hurt. The real problem in this scene is why the fuck he keeps driving. It's the same bullshit as trying to run away form a car instead of, you know, take a step sidewards.

  4.  @grim_2000  That, too, more suprising when you still stand up after a dog mangled you like that. The whole movie can't be taken seriously, what is fine, but why mix up so much pseudo love story in then?

  5.  @Snp2024  Not really, you can easily have good action without "jack ass" scenes. Many, many movies show this. Often enough the over the top action stuff makes it look more stupid, because, yeah, normally humans would have a big problem with surviving his unharmed. And all the car races are just ultra boring meanwhile anyway, especially because they don't really make sense and by that destroy the suspension of disbelief. It's always the same: the race blindly through a city either completely void of cars or a clear path through them, so it's like "oh noes - ah, who cares, they make it anyway, as usual" and of course never any action of the police or even military, when someone is wagering a little private war inside their city. The drivers act like they are some magical beings who can see in the future, because they just know everything even before it happens. I mean, fine, then make a fantasy movie out of it. Most of the time it's not even about giving a thrilling action scene, but mainly to show off what Mary Sue the character is, where the world bends around that guy or gal. Good enough here and there, but it was done soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo often, it lost all color and taste. It's simply lazy writing: "now the main char is doing the impossible, but succeeds, without explanation, because I wrote it." Lazy writing is boring - and more and more annoying.
