Tockinit not horrible nor great

Borgarkeri A bit overrated, but still an amazing film

2freensel I saw this movie before reading any reviews, and I thought it was very funny. I was very surprised to see the overwhelmingly negative reviews this film received from critics.

Melanie Bouvet The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

psbgsg14 I do wonder how so many bad (and I mean really bad) films get made - surely the people in charge must have some idea about film making otherwise how and why are they able to raise money for this kind of mindless nonsense? I wish there was something - anything - good about this movie but I can't think of a single thing. Everything was wrong from the basic premise to Connie Nielsen's accent (she is wasted in rubbish like this). It had the look and the feel of some low budget US TV 'thriller' along the lines of Scorpion. I've just thought of something good - it was only 94 minutes long!

Geoff Boyle I think reviewers are being a little harsh about this film. It's an action thriller featuring the SBS, MI6 etc. Mainly British cast with a couple of token Americans. Gemma Chan is superb, with a different actress her role wouldn't be memorable but she really helps things along. Derek Jacobi, unsurprisingly good. Unlike many reviews, I think Dominic Cooper did a good job, especially given the lack of time he had to prepare for this. Connie Nielsen however was an odd choice, her posh British accent varied in intensity and felt awkward. You can't compare this to a big budget Bond/Bourne/Mission Impossible, but I found it entertaining.

Bella Honestly this movie just felt like it was ticking off a checklist. Gun shoot out. check. Car chase. check. Underwater scene. check. It just kept going. I went into the film with a good expectation especially from such a well known cast, but it fell flat. No chemistry among the cast, Dominic Cooper just didn't have the presence or physicality you would expect of a SBS Agent. The villain was underwhelming and even at the end of the film I'm still not sure what the motive was.Even with all the great locations and scenery, it couldn't carry the bland and unimaginative story line. Do not watch.
