Am I the only one who enjoyed this film?

I thought the acting was very solid, James McAvoy is one of my favorite actors and I have nothing bad to say about Mark Strong. Film as a whole I thought was shot incredibly well, had a nice tone to it. Action scenes were filmed well unlike typical Hollywood over-edited crap where you can't even tell what is going on. What held this back was the story, typical crooked cop can't trust anyone plot twist you can see coming from 30 miles away. Still didn't completely hold back my enjoyment of the film though. One of the better movies of 2013 so far.

No, you're not the only one. Although not everything worked for me (I would have liked a bit more back story for some of the characters), I really enjoyed the performances by the actors (especially the two key players), with the emotion visible on their faces while not always verbally expressing it. And I don't mind good action scenes :) so I really had a very good time!
I am definitely going to buy it on dvd!

I loved it.

No, certainly not. More people loved this film than otherwise. This being the internet, though, people that hate everything, and people that desperately seek attention have bigger mouths than those that just like to talk about solid films.

Certainly not the only one, I thought it was very good.

I liked it but I don't like James Macavoy. He doesn't have any charisma. I would have liked Wanted and Xmen First Class better if McAvoy wasn't in them.
