Extremely disappointing


The trailer for this was one of the best I've ever seen ... but man does the movie fail to live up to it. Terrible script, slow ponderous dialogue, just one cliche after another. But I should have known better to see something just based on the trailer. Woof.

Agree - don't waste your money? Cliché's. No logic. The bad guys are described as stupid. There is 100 questions to be made. Enough said. Ridiculous high scores.

This film was definitely not "extremely disappointing", at least for me, but I imagine numerous others. While I'll agree that the end was a bit farfetched, they kept it down a notch to keep it from being too Stallone-like.

I was actually quite surprised in what I saw. I read the storyline and it sounded like it might be boring, but worth a shot (Colin is hot or cold with me at times). The dialogue was done in such a way that it was brief and to the point, but piercing and full of message. Hard to describe, as I'm not a big reviewer. I'm also not big into romance, but this film's version was quite cool.

I actually gave this film an 8, and I rarely give above a 6 except to really good movies with great attention to all components that make a film (casting, dialog, etc.). I was at 7 because of one particular scene, but was unable to recall it because the rest of the film made it easily forgettable. I bumped to 8 because of the retro style, solid casting and I found it to be the best film I've seen this year I think (hate me whatever). It probably should be a 7, but I was in the giving mood.

Yeah that was stupid. But then again, at that point, I didn't really care anymore how he killed the mob. Just that they don't die afterwards.

yeah just saw this boring movie...could have been better

Bad script. Too ambitious it ends up being confusing and inconsistent. Why would a hardened killer agree to her blackmail? He'd just ignore her or at worst, kill her too.

reply

He wasn't a hardened killer.
Watch the movie again.
