Nonureva Really Surprised!
Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good
MoPoshy Absolutely brilliant
Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
filmfancy I've never seen this director's movies before, but after enduring this one I'll be sure to avoid any others of his.I like Liam Neeson but he looked very weary in this, possibly because he knew how bad it was. The fight scenes were unbelievable and cringe-worthy, while the action sequences demanded total suspension of belief, with obvious CGI.The plot didn't make much sense either. We never really learn who is behind the overall conspiracy. Just who is controlling everything?I remember Liam Neeson playing decent roles once upon a time, but it's been about 15 years since I've liked him in anything. I guess I was nostalgic when I decided to watch this, hoping he would do a decent job. Unfortunately, the writing is so bad that his character was pretty ridiculous. Going from a cop to selling insurance, huh? I won't comment on any of the other characters because they were too thinly drawn. The ending was laughable as well. I would say to avoid this mess.
kamaleshmishra If you have so many time to waste to watch this because of the trailer of this movie trying to attract you to watch this movie so I do but after watching this movie I really hate the direction of this movie. Story was so nice but the way director was direct that the worse part of this movie.I don't recommend you guys to watch this movie.
jodyfranz While I got what I wanted out of this movie, some time to zone out and be entertained there were a lot of things wrong with this movie that I found I kept having to tell myself to let go which pulls you out of the story at least temporarily.I thought the opening sequence was pretty cool, they show Michael (Liam) going to work each day over the course of seems like a year or more with quick cuts but the Liam stays in frame so he kind of stays constant while his surroundings change to show the passage of time. This was too predictable for me, they tried to get you off the scent by introducing some of the characters but I had a pretty good idea who was the baddy right away. Unless I missed it we never find out who is the top baddies or really why they are doing what they do, in some cases this wouldn't matter so much but it left this movie feeling rushed and shallow. The fight scenes were a little repetitive and Liam's character takes every form of beating and just shrugs it off, he gets pepper sprayed (kind of accidental like) and in seconds is able to use a napkin or something and is okely dokely. Even John Maclain walked with a bit of a limp at the end of Die Hard - 60 year old Michael just brushes it off. The acting was pretty good all around, it did leave you wondering at times just how was a baddy and how many were there. But all in all it was like lighting a match the action lasts for a short time then its gone and discarded. If you are a completionist and HAVE to watch this movie to say you saw every Neeson flick out there then it won't be too painful to sit through and watch, if you paid money and expected a Taken kind of movie you will probably be dissapointed. You want a flick that has the good guys fighting the bad guys watch The Equalizer its more fun than this movie.
yjudith Im so sick of these types of cookie cutter action movies and Im equally sick of seeing Liam Neeson i them. He is no longer believable in them. Not too many men of any age can have that many fist fights where not only are you getting pummeled in hand to hand fighting, but also having your head rammed into metal and through glass. HIs character is 60 for pete's sake. And on top of that there was some computerization tweeks in the scenes which made them even less real or believable. I didnt have a problem with story or the holes in the plot. It is silly to think that they would hire a stranger to kill this witness but had someone push the fellow commuter into the path of a bus in broad daylight but I didnt think about that until later when all of the pieces started coming together. And the ending?? More ridiculousness!! I better stop here before I start removing stars!
