Final Score Trailer, My Thoughts

What do you get when you take Drax the Destroyer, James Bond, and Volstagg, drop them onto an English soccer field, and basically pay whole-plot homage to the 1995 Jean-Claude Van Damme film Sudden Impact? Well, you get Final Score, of course! Let's take a look at the trailer for this upcoming flick starring Dave Bautista, Pierce Brosnan, and Ray Stevenson!


Ah, nothing like a nice game of soccer with the niece. Lovely bit of family bonding.

Why do the bad guys always strike during the tie-breaker?! Let them finish the game, dagnabit!

So, Dave Bautista has to kill bearded Pierce Brosnan in 90 minutes, or the stadium goes boom. I've heard this film be described as "Die Hard on a football pitch", but this is clearly soccer's answer to Sudden Impact. Seriously.

Could have sworn that dude was Sean Connery. That would have been awesome. Two James Bonds in one movie. That would have been epic.

I don't think Drax there is nervous about killing dudes. He did kill a spaceship.

Dude, there's a reason why we do not allow people to ride inside! Do you want to run over somebody?! Because that's how you run over somebody!

Fire extinguisher to the face! That dude's modeling career is over.

"Kill 'em All." Didn't know he was a Metallica fan. And that's kind of what you'd expect the hero in a movie like this to do. And does Dave Bautista sound...off in those scenes? Like he was dubbed? Sounds like it to me.

HOW DO YOU SHAKE OFF A FRYING PAN TO THE JAW?!

So, while these terrorists are holding the stadium hostage, the soccer players are deciding to just play a game anyway? I've heard of the British thing for keeping calm and carrying on, but...wow.

Yeah, I'm not exactly expecting this to be groundbreaking in any way. I'm hoping this ends up being some mindless fun. I can imagine that's all I can hope for in a movie like this. It have a good cast, so maybe that'll help.
