Why was this made
Why was this made. In 3 months everyone will forget this existed. So what's the point?
shareThe same is true for this thread.

Exactly!
But to answer Opie's question: The movie was made to make money...duh! I mean: Besson, Costner, McG...what could go wrong?

Every movie can't be Casablanca
I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.
Besson, Costner, McG...what could go wrong?That's probably what the studio execs thought too; however, look at its drastic second weekend drop...the movie likely won't even gross its $28m budget (domestically anyway)
Costner doesn't have the drawing power he used to - he's better off in supporting roles now. Though that didn't help the Jack Ryan flick, which tanked in North America too

Is this worst than Non-stop? Because I was amazed at the imdb rating on that, it was a completely forgettable film and I kind of regret not seeing this one instead. Should I give this one a chance or just save my money and rent it eventually?
shareGo see it! Why not? It was made why every movie is made... To entertain people & lose yourself in something. In fantasy.
shareI along with most people enjoyed nonstop more but this film is a lot deeper if not as well directed or written. Besson makes arty smarty action films
I could go with you somewhat on the "arty", at least this movie did throw in some interesting quirks, but there was certainly nothing smart about it. If you dig Besson you'd be better off watching his 80s and 90s stuff imo.
or maybe not lol http://www.WorldofBong.com
Meats_Of_Evil...this crap is alot worse than Non-Stop...I would say that Non-Stop is pretty *beep* but this turd cake really takes the price...Besson is the reason and the worthless director McG ofc...Besson cant make good films anymore even if his life depended on it...sure he produced Taken which was an ok action flick but this is just pure garbage, nothing decent or good about this so called movie.

Problem with JR was that they should have either rebooted and used the old stories, or gone NextGen and done the stories with JR Jr.... with Dingo & Clark leading the way.
sharethoughts from an ugly mind? it's already grossed over its budget; who cares about 'domestically anyway' in a global economy? the money all spends the same.
to the rest, blah blah blah.
You're a couple of months late, Randy...it's already bombed overseas too

Are you posting that because you think it's good, or to confirm that it's terrible? Because, as everyone knows, a film's budget doesn't include the marketing and the cost of releasing it in dozens of territories.

It did gross more than its budget. Whether it made a profit or not, how does it feel to be wrong?

Costner doesn't have the drawing power he used toPossibly true but don't blame him, he was good in it. I haven't seen the Jack Ryan movie yet but will for Kevin and Keira. share
I'm not blaming him -- the public just doesn't care anymore. Draft Day flopped too.
