A action film is directed by Conor Allyn and starring Kellan Lutz, Verdi Solaiman, Mickey Rourke, follows Moslem team of inspectors uniting with an American portrays as a fresh student to find a criminal who is responsible for a serial terrorist bombing events in Indonesia.
Lutz ... doesn't have half the charisma required to hold together this jumble of cheesy shootouts and chases, but at least Rourke provides some unintended laughs with his comical attempts to be evil.
It's violent enough to numb, but Allyn doesn't launch the effort to rousing heights of escapism. In the end, Java Heat works better as a travelogue than an international actioner.
Remember all those years when Mickey Rourke was languishing in cheap, straight-to-DVD work that paid his rent and wasted his talents? Apparently, he actually enjoyed making those movies.
The perfect macho date movie for that Type A juicehead in your life, marked by Mickey Rourke's ever-accelerating descent into Lon Chaney-esque grotesqueness.
An action movie for people who don't mind clichéd plotting, lame dialogue, and the low-wattage charisma of third-string Twilight heartthrob Kellan Lutz.
The film's anthropological interest in Indonesia is the smartest thing in an otherwise familiar scramble of kidnapped babes, expensive jewelry and millions of bullets.
