It's not terrible. I just got back from seeing it, If you like The Bourne Identity or Eagle Eye. You'll more than likely like this movie, plus, there's a character named 'Lucia' and she's fecking gorgeous!

Oh no...this is Earth isn't it?

^Ignore everything the above poster said. Probably a studio shill.

Terrible film that wastes everyone involved.

It's called an opinion, my friend. You should work out what that means.
Why shouldn't we just ignore you? If you think I'm apart of Summit, you're probably apart of Relativity who made Mirror Mirror. Lol!

dreadfully bad, first movie ive seen this guy in and im not impressed at all, cant even see why the women are swooning for him, he has a short top lip which make him look like hes bucktoothed, but hey, whatever floats their boat.

reply

I thought it was boring. The set-up for the film took too long and nothing really happened for about the first 30 minutes. Improved slightly afterwards but it's not a film I'd ever watch again.

reply

Please ignore MichealJohns. He hasn't a clue. I can't believe he's compared this to The Bourne Identity!!

This film is utter tripe.

reply

How much action? Any skin?

reply

One word to sum up the film- average. There is nothing memorable about the film. It's a watch it once, forget and move on type of film.

reply

Saw it tonight. This was bad but the worst is how wasted is Verónica Echegui, she is one of the most talented spanish actresses and she does absolutely nothing here, she is just there screaming and running.

reply

Man, it's probably the worse Hollywood action film of the year.

Yes. It's like an poor ripoff of Ronin. Henry Cavill is fit. Sigourney Weaver is awful. There's heavy Audi product placement. That's it really.

reply

Saying Sigourney Weaver aka Ripley is awful is like farting in front of your mum - you just don't do it. She's cult status.

These are my thoughts. There are many like them but these ones are mine.

Just watched it a few hours ago.
The film was utterly dreadful.
It had a big budget, great stars and a good location.
Sadly, the plot was next to non existent.
It didn't have any tension or suspense, it was dull.
I was tempted to walk out but it was one of those films that you hope gets better but sadly that is not the case.
Maybe I've seen too many movies but I know a rotten movie when I see one.

THE LITMUS TEST FOR ANY MOVIE IN MY HUMBLE OPINION IS IF YOU WILL WATCH IT AGAIN. (So I am not going to waste my time by watching it again.)

Hope this answers your question.

reply

It's a B (sometimes C or D) movie. You don't need to have great expectations when you go and watch this. The plot is a bit tricky but turns out to be quite vain. Car chases and a lot of people running. Some (many) plot holes. But I love Sigourney Weaver son I watch all films she's in, although she's appeared in quite mediocre films recently... (a Taylor Lautner movie, really, is she that desperate?)

a cheap version of " an alone guy must save his family in a foreigner and hostile country"
personnally i was happy to see again Sigorney Weaver and Bruce Willis and Cavill is good-looking

reply

It is a bad movie. Bad acting, directing etc.

reply

Yes, very poor film.

Some nice stunt work and a cool euro setting, but that's about it.

The movie sometimes seemed trying to be something more, with a bit more emotional depth than usual.

But the plotting was terrible, the movie looked like a last-minute studio re-edit to me.

Awful climatic action scene, and awful performance by Sigourney Weaver.

reply

I DID walk out. First time all year.

Henry Cavill was atrocious. This guy can't act. He OVER acts. Did anyone test screen this guy? He's going to play Superman? NOT looking forward to that...

Bruce and Sigourney mailed it in. It seemed like we interrupted their paid vacation to Spain...

How about all the day for night shots?? Car chases with headlights added in post!! It looked absolutely ridiculous...

And the mysterious "briefcase" that's supposed to keep our attention? The pathetic fight scenes that were laughable...

This is a direct to video, B movie at best...

Lame story. Lame acting. Lame directing. Worst movie of the year!!

reply

It was never really revealed what was inside the briefcase. I will admit that Will Shaw was rather unlikable and I just hope that Henry Cavil's acting is better in the Man of Steele. Sigourney Weaver was rather comical as the villian Jean Carrack.

Is this the only thing you've seen him in? Because he can in fact act well when given the right material to work with.

And yes, he's going to play Superman and be awesome. I just hope he cleans up his American accent.

How does it feel to be deconstructed?

We reviewed it in full in the link below if your interested. But please dont waste your money... extremely boring and poorly acted! The plot was completely pointless and the whole movie, even the actions scenes are dull.
