I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

I say apparently, because the quote was so grossly wrong, I couldnt trait a studio that did that to produce a good movie. So I stopped. Watching and having checked this site, I was spot on. an idiot would have been able to spot that it was wrong, yet the studio put it through and it was supposed to define the movie. The quote," there can not be good without evil. Everything in existence must co-exist in a sort of balance or symmetry. St Augustine"sort of,....SORT OF, what 430 AD philosophical writers did they think uses the words sort off. If you going to be making up crap, at least do a good job and don't ask you 12 year old to make up a quote for you. St Augustine actually said that Good can exist without evil, and that evil can not exist without good. As evil us a defect in good and that defect and that defect only is evil. Completely different from the drivel they expounded on

I recommend watching this movie just so you can judge for yourself how bad it really is, five famous people in it but nobody did any good acting, that said, it had interesting ideas which kept my girlfriend and I watching it all the way through, I like how everything converged at the end but ultimately the bad acting ruined the entire movie.Vinnie Jones does yet another bad film, Mischa Barton didn't do anything, Sean Astin was an interesting character but could have been better, Michael Pare hasn't improved since the eighties (loved Streets of Rage 1984) I got the impression the helicopter was the shadow of a cardboard cut out, I could go on but I think you need to see it for yourself, I gave it a 2 because it did keep me watching

see above :P Vinnie Jones is a nob Danny Glover clearly run out of all that lethal weapon cheddar must have been 'kin desperate to do this role - screenwriter must have been standing on chair with rope around his neck wen he wrote this crap - or should be for writing it - more ketchup than Heinz baked beansAgain, Vinnie Jones is a nob Danny Glover clearly run out of all that lethal weapon cheddar must have been 'kin desperate to do this role - screenwriter must have been standing on chair with rope around his neck wen he wrote this crap - or should be for writing it - more ketchup than Heinz baked beans

**** The movie is plain awful **** It was on Netflix, saw Danny Glover and expected something. What an unbearable movie. Normally I read the reviews and STOP. I never like to post any commentary. This time, the movie was so horrible, I broke my promise to myself, created an Yahoo! ID, confirmed it and created the IMDb id, confirmed it and then typed it. I am so determined to post this so that no one goes through the horror of watching this movie. Waterboarding may not be this horrible. And what is with the F* bombs, is it supposed to make them look 'bad'. Their acting (or lack of that) ensures that they are bad. What a horrible piece of movie. They could have sent the money on this to some charity organization. Is this a piece done for some laundering ?
