Scorpions

A legendary band, truly. I think it’s enough to say Michael Schenker was with them right at the start. As for Scorpions - Always Somewhere, it honestly baffles me how everyone seems to have forgotten it 😁

1.5/10
What a disaster. I haven't seen this much typical American fluff in ages. A complete waste of time. Only watch this if you're a fan of third-rate cinema.
Comparing this to Taken is just ridiculous.
***Possible spoiler***
Travolta's character is laughable. He’s supposed to be a secret agent, but they portray him as a total psycho who basically has a valid excuse to kill everyone in sight and wreck half of Paris.
The movie presents threats to Americans coming from every different nation imaginable. The dialogue is so bad it gives me a headache, and the special effects aren't any better. There's almost no story here, just forced action. That ending is a total cliché—just amateurish negotiating with a terrorist next to a bunch of diplomats. 😂
I gave it a slightly higher score only because the pacing is fast; it feels like it ends quickly.
I honestly have no idea how this movie even made it into theaters!
