huge chunks of inspiration
from the likes of Luc Besson's sci - fi
spectacle Lucy, Chan's own kiddie romp The Spy Next Door and... oh, let's go with Roland Emmerich's Universal Soldier, Zhang's hyper - charged, hardly - coherent head - spinner is a star - vehicle concoction for both old and new generations of Asia's favourite film stars.
