Lame and predictable. Crappy writing. Beyond boring.


RETARDED. No twists and boring as hell.

Fully agredd. Totally mediocre.

There were a few twists, but the "rogue element in the CIA that kills other CIA agents" plot has been done way too many times now. "Three Days of the Condor" gets credit for doing it when it was not old yet. The Bourne films were good. Everyone else needs to think up something original and stop doing this same idea every year.

^^This but it was still a decent film, at least IMHO. To each his own, OP.

In itself it wasn't a bad actioner, but the plot is just so obviously unoriginal.🐭

100% agree!
The plot "twists" weren't twists, because it was blatantly obvious from the start.
That CIA wet team were obviously CIA.
The main CIA fella, obviously him pulling the strings as you see him playing with his phone.
It wasn't a terrible watch, but the "twists" were insulting to say the least. Pathetic in fact.

Completely agree.

I still liked it...due to the actors and the performances. That's ultimately what makes most movies to me.
Finding something totally original is difficult...at least in my eyes. Everything has been done in some variation.
At least it's not a sequel or a remake!!

Yeah I thought this movie was was rather dull.
