The greatest movie ever made..!
Mischa Redfern
I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

An American military helicopter pilot is taken by insurgents in Afganistan. Kate Abbott (Milla Jovovich) is a newly arrived State Department security officer at the American embassy in London under Sam Parker (Dylan McDermott). Kate investigates Emil Balan (Roger Rees) applying for a visitor visa. Her co-workers are killed in a bombing by the Watchmaker (Pierce Brosnan) and she barely escapes his gunsight. It's a conspiracy with supervisor Bill Talbot (Robert Forster) and the terrorists. Paul Anderson (James D'Arcy) is a British security officer.This is a middling thriller. The problem is that everything is thrown at her to make her look guilty. Each evidence is questionable and filled with conveniences. Security cameras go down in one of the most surveilled cities in the world. There is basic investigative work that these experts miss out on. It's also questionable why Emil needs to go to America or if he could have supervised from London or how he got another passport anyways. Every character does some questionable action or fails to act. The actors are fine and the production is functional. The writing is simply not sharp enough. Idiocy by some of these characters taint any hope for a good thriller. In the age of terrorism fears, Kate would not be dismissed so easily even if suspicions start falling on her. Emil would be a person of interest from the beginning in the real world but the movie brushes him off with contrivances. At a certain point, I assumed half of these characters are in a conspiracy because otherwise would mean that they are written stupidly. The new year's eve time square scenario is unrealistic and Kate is only successful due to happenstance. It's poorly written.

SURVIVOR is a cookie-cutter modern-day thriller featuring non-actress Milla Jovovich in the lead role of a government worker who gets accused of crimes she didn't commit and who is subsequently forced to go on the run to clear her name. It's a story we've seen play out time and again in the likes of THE BOURNE IDENTITY and SALT, and indeed there's absolutely nothing new in the way of material here.Jovovich is one of my least favourite actresses, but at least she doesn't have time to emote here - she's too busy running around. The film's best element is Pierce Brosnan, cast against type as a cold-hearted assassin, and very good he is in the role too. Budget-wise, this is a middling story, with a number of CGI explosions and the like to keep it going, and some mildly suspenseful chase sequences which aren't too bad. It's not the type of film to set the world on fire, but if you're looking for something easy it might just do the job.

Fire the American ambassador, the British Home Secretary, and the writers of this plot hole driven mess masquerading as a serious film. Kate Abbot (Milla Jovovich) is sent to London and attached to the American consulate because of her skill set in uncovering threats against the United States. When she believes she has found something questionable about Dr. Emil Balan (Roger Rees ), no one believes her. Balan reports to his superiors that there is a problem and they immediately assign a hit man, Nash (Pierce Brosnan) to kill her. His plan to bomb the restaurant she and her friends are at goes slightly awry, she has to go across the street just before the detonation. Of course she becomes the chief suspect and all the police in London, who have the green light from the American ambassador to kill her, can't capture her; and she flies off to New York City to single handed stop a plot to blow up Times Square on New Year's Eve. All I did was yell at the TV while watching this saying for F's sake buy a hat already. At no time during the run does Kate even attempt to disguise herself. She does save New York and even manages to kill Nash at the conclusion. What a waste of a twenty million dollar budget. I hope Brosnan got at least 15 million to be in this dog.
