Boss Level * *

You have been fragged, again and again and ...

This is probably going to work better for a lot more people that it did for me.   Especially if you're into computer games.  

You know how in those games, sometimes you have to get killed a heap of times before you finally figure out how to get through? But each time you are killed you remember who, where and how, so that next time you are prepared, and next time you win, and next time you get through, only to be confronted with another situation where you most likely get killed again?

Such is the situation with the protagonist in this film. It's all a bit like Groundhog Day in that every time he gets killed he wakes up in bed again and the same situation commences. It's fun for about twenty minutes, especially with all the shooting, fighting and fast driving etc, but the film goes for 90 minutes and after an hour you begin hoping he's killed for the last time. 

Watch out for the sequel in a couple of years.  Rarely have I seen such an obvious setup for part 2.
