Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

Good start, but then it gets ruined

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

This was a entertaining film keeps you in your toes the whole time. A sharp thriller with some good ideas and a great turn at the end! Reminded me of Ransom in parts but not as polished but still good! Good chemistry between the actors but what do you expect from the trio! I liked the way it was filmed and the whole vibe.For sure see this one when you have chance.A neat thriller that keeps you in the whole time.I did not hear much on this film but glad I caught it.I think it was marketed badly because I never heard of it till on Amazon! Anyone who likes a taught thriller will like this.

I'm just an average guy. This movie was good enough that I stayed up late on a work night to watch it thru to the end, followed by staying up even later to write this review.It's entertaining enough to cut my sleep to six hours. There were a few scenes where I became drawn in enough that I found myself giving encouragement to the Father figure character, and putting myself in his shoes for a little while, until they became to small and tight on my feet. The end of the movie left me wanting just another 5 minutes. If only we could just be in the room 5 more minutes, I think all hell would have broken loose and all couples watching could learn what happens when we push each other just an inch too far. Enjoy!

Butterfly on a Wheel is a very pleasant change from most American thrillers where so much reliance is placed on 'way over-the-top action sequences' that never happen in real life. Everything is at the same time both gripping and low-key and that isn't easy. So well done director Mike Barker (I'll be watching for more of your work) and to what is, basically, a cast of three.It was interesting to see Pierce Brosnan as the 'bad guy' rather than the hero and, when you watch the film, I'm sure you'll agree, he was quite loathsome with his cool, calculating manner.I won't include spoilers here but leave you to see if you can work out the reason for everything. No doubt some of you (smart-asses!!) will and get all blasé about that but I didn't. I thought I did but, in the end, I was wrong - and, when you think about it, that's what makes a thriller great isn't it?Well worth a second watch.

I don't know how to say this, but this movie was rubbish.Fine actors or so I thought, but the script was just really, really bad. This must be one of the worst movies I have ever watched.The plot has way too many holes in it to actually engage you.Story is bad, acting is bad (Butler should stick to action), the music was bad and the awful plot was just the cherry on top.I was really aggregated to have watched this movie half way through. Unfortunately the last part only makes things worse.Watch "The next three days" with Russell Crowe to see how it is done right.Please do not watch this movie.
