The terrorism thriller “Java Heat” sure is violent. I don’t even want to tell you how viciously Mickey Rourke mangles the French accent he’s trying to do.
Rourke — cancel that comeback! — is in Indonesia as a thug who masterminds a crime involving the Princess Diana of the world’s largest Muslim country. A glowering American grad student/Marine/superspy (Kellan Lutz) is on the case together with a local cop (Ario Bayu). The two have some culture clashes (“You Americans! Always you are telling! Never listening!”) but gradually learn to work together.
The slablike Lutz, who belongs not in front of a camera but on display in a meat locker, 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.
