TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film

SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

intexor I've seen several thousands of films in my life and this has to be one of the worst. And most of the other worst films ever, I watched voluntarily because they are known to be that bad, so they at least have cult status. But this one isn't even so bad it becomes funny, it's the worst kind of bland you can imagine. This movie has no soul, no story, no characters anyone would remotely care about, no exciting action, not one line of dialogue that you would like to remember or didn't frown upon. My latest visit to the toilet was more memorable than this turd. Please spend your time better than watching this movie.

SnoopyStyle Alexis Farraday (Olga Kurylenko) gets pulled into another job by her running mate Kevin Fuller. It's a bank heist to steal diamonds. Alexis gets unmasked in a fight against one of the robbery crew. Mr. Washington (James Purefoy) hired by a Senator (Morgan Freeman) comes looking not just for the diamonds but a computer drive. He kills Fuller but Alexis escapes with the drive.The story is simple. It relies on action and not much else. It's alright for a 90's gun fight action film. The action is done well enough. There is a good variety of gun, hand-to-hand, and car chases. It needs more in terms of dialog and characterization. The writing is lackluster. Kurylenko is still not the best actress around and struggles to be the lead. Campanelli is trying make the jump from camera operator to director. A simple thing like more specificity to Freeman's character would help. The movie often stalls when the action gets stuck in one location. It becomes static especially for an action movie. The camera work may be correct but the directing is unimaginative.

nicholls_les 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?

tolake I am already starting to question the acting ability of some of the actors and I am only 10 minutes into the movie. If you are going to have a budget of 20 million, at least hire a casting agent. Colin Moss needs to learn how to act. His performance grating.Olga Kurylenko is easy to watch and her role as a tough thief allows her to be tough and no-nonsense. She will keep me watching it.Stay tunes for Review Part2.Waiting for James Purefoy to show up. James and Olga should sizzle, even if he is the bad guy.2nd part of review after finishing the movie. They wasted a lot of quality actors on a poorly written script. The movie is so empty, that they had to fill it with chatty dialog so we would be on the edge of our seats, waiting for the next round of dialog to break up the violence. Too bad. Even Morgan Freeman and James Purefoy couldn't save this mess.And they left it hanging, so there can be a sequel. Tell me it isn't so.
