Really fun movie, and Stewart was great.

This isn't the movie you want if you want something deep or thought provoking, but it's definitely entertaining. Eisenberg was good as the dull witted but highly trained killer. It would have been nice to see Britton in a bit more. The highlight was Stewart though. So much for the naysayers who say she can't act. She was spot on in every scene.

For what they were trying to accomplish, it was pretty good, so I would give it an 8/10. I wouldn't mind seeing a sequel.

I forgot to mention, having Walton Goggins as the crazy asset was amazing. Since he didn't die, they should make a sequel and bring him back as Mike's partner.

Sarcasm?

I agree with the OP completely.

Stewart was great in this. Some folks must just not like her for some reason. I've never seen twilight, in fact this is the only role I've ever seen her in. I don't know how she could possibly have been any better.

And no, I'm not her agent.

I think she was great! It was a fun movie . Very savage, it reminded me of an old school horror in some parts. I hope there's a sequel even though it didn't make too much

It's a great movie! Kristen was amazing. Just doesn't hit a big demographic.

Absolutely agree.

I took a chance on it via Netflix, and I agree with you. For me, though, the fact that they kind of glossed over the fact that being an asset was driving Mike crazy before at the end brought it down to around 7/10, but whatever.
