A successful franchise depends on the hero at its center. Is the hero's personality interesting enough to warrant more? Time will tell, but Falcon Rising is off to a good start. Read full review

The structural missteps do little to diminish the immense pleasure of seeing White in motion, however. When he assumes a combat pose, the generic script and personality-free visuals fall back. Read full review

Mr. Chapman administers some of his (amplified) thwacks and drop kicks with a likable, you-should-know-better air of amusement, recalling a Reagan-era TV cop show. Read full review

Beyond isolated moments of dickish charm — and his climactic four-way fight involving a sword, a crucifix, and two steel pipes — Chapman just comes across like another pseudo-heroic American behaving badly abroad. Read full review

The whole movie had a balky, at times disjointed feeling. The plot would jump from one focus to another too quickly and characters were never developed. Granted, FalconGoing into the movie I didn't have high hopes...and even though it started promising I still came out disappointed.

Granted, Falcon Rising did not have Oscars-level ambition, but unfortunately the action wasn't all there in this action flick. The choreography was unrefined and just unsatisfying overall, and that is fair, given Michael Jai Whites pedigree for great fight scenes. Lets hope that the next installment of the Falcon series lives up to the high expectations.… Expand
