Those free runners in War Zone took me so out of the movie. But I got to admit it was funny when he blow one of them the f*** up in mid air. Did NOT see that coming. Oh man I totally agree.

It was kinda cool. And Live Free or Die Hard, I thought it was awesome. Maybe it's only because I love the guy who played the part. He starred in and was the stunt choreographer for B13. Oh, and in Die Hard 4 he was pretty much the sniper/assasin of the group; and yes every, and I mean EVERY sniper should be trainer in parkour. It just makes sense. They can get to hard to reach sniping positions and then a quick escape. My only issue with Die Hard 4 is that he is superman who survives almost everything.

I was watching the film with people who knew the actor and said he was cast in the role because of his talent. Just because "Director A" used it with great success, does not mean everyone should throw it in for good measure. Learn not to cater to the bean counters writing the checks.

The opening chase sequence in Hitchcock's Vertigo desperately needed some pointless acrobatics. I want to see Jimmy Stewart do some wall flips. As for the article, I feel this way whenever I watch most action movies. Whenever the hero/villain backflip-kicks or cartwheels around instead of just punching like a normal person.

I was in the minority when I felt it worked in The Dark Knight. However, it is definitely over-used, and is somehow mistaken for "style". The best fight scene I've ever seen was in "Oldboy", with one long steady take down a hallway. Regarding Shaky Cam: Use sparingly. I was in the minority when I felt it worked in The Dark Knight.

I liked them in the bourne movies as well, but at parts in the third film I felt a little lost...
