It is a performances centric movie
Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
I don't judge a book by its cover so I decided to see the movie myself and I was disappointed. The plot was rubbish and the action was so tacky and very far from realistic with lots of boring moments in between. Perhaps the most disgusting of which was the lack of attention to details; like an insult to the viewer.
Good movie with plenty of action. Olga Kurylenko is believable in the lead role, although the characters abilities are inconsistent and I found some of her actions frustrating and silly. There was no reason to allow herself to be caught in order to draw them to the airport. A phone call offering the drive would have done that.The villains are suitably evil and James Purefoy is a convincing psychopathic criminal. I did think that the over use of the F word was unnecessary. It seems a trend to over use bad language in action movies which is sloppy script writing in my opinion.The ending left this open to a series of sequels so maybe there are more to come?
This a basic robbery movie that turns to political intrigue. From the trailer I though I would get a decent action movie. But the movie fails to build any momentum by layout every possible action in front of the viewer. If something is important the camera focus on it which runes any sense of a reveal/tension in later scenes.One glaring issue is the complete failure of the use of a sound track/score. It should help and lead the audience through the actions on screen and help build moments. But the score is heard throughout the film no matter what is happening. There is no high or lows and very generic. I think there are only a few 15-30 second intervals where music isn't heard. If anything the score takes away from what happing on the screen.If it weren't for the strong cast this movie would be unwatchable. With some heavy edits to give some sense of tension this movie could have been saved but the ending is left open ended like they planed to have a sequel resolve the political intrigue.
Every action movie needs a macguffin. A macguffin is the reason everyone is running around killing each other. It's nice if when you finally learn the macguffin it carries some value and sense of reality that fits into the film and makes all the action and mayhem seem worthwhile. Unfortunately, the ending in this movie is both incredibly stupid and utterly ridiculous. It amazes me how many movies can be destroyed in the last five minutes and this is one of them. The writers, director and producers should be ashamed of themselves. On the plus side all the actors are really good. Olga Kurylenko is particularly cool. The action is good. But then there's the ending and you feel like you've wasted 90 minutes of your time and want to take a shower to wash the stupidity out of your head.
