Waste of time
Overrated and overhyped
Boring
Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
This is a really good action movie with some really good fights and really good music throughout. I didn't know who Gina Carano was before this but she kicks ass quite credibly. I definitely like the solidity of her character and also the solidity of her body. She looks healthily muscular.
In typical Soderbergh fashion, it takes a couple of viewings to sort out all of the plot's twists. It's easy to get left behind; the time shifts and the quiet moments of dialogue can trip up a viewer, but it's a slick little thriller. I happen to love Gina Carano in this role; maybe she's not the most flexible line-reader but in her character, it works, and she pulls off the action sequences beautifully. I also was amazed at the star power in the supporting roles. The soundtrack is excellent as well. In short, this is exactly the kind of spy thriller you'd expect from the guy who made Out Of Sight, Ocean's 11-13, Traffic, etc.
First, i really liked the fighting scenes, they came without needles cuts and were well executed. Also, the first girl that runs like a man, or just how it should look when someone runs properly.... but the rest is so bad. Gina, although I like her, can't act at all. She acts like a beautiful mummy. No face expression that matches the scenes well.The casting was awful too. It really looked like some top acts try to act like some B-Movie actors.... looked wired. McGregor is to big a Star as could he plausible play such a looser running away from a "girl". You could read in all of those faces "When do I get my money...?".Storyline is so meh. James Bond type hero gets betrayed by his bosses and starts a revenge. Must be the first Movie of this kind ^^.And who did the light? Or was that absolute horrid stage lighting made on purpose, so you only saw her face half of the time in the hole movie? No thrill at all, literally hours of running and chasing and you never get these goosebumps, cause you wont fear something could happen to the main cast.This movie purpose is only to grab your money.
I cannot understand the current rating for this movie. I find this movie both out of the ordinary as well as very fascinating to watch. Often with action movies the story gets either banal or way to unrealistic. I do not want to spoil anything here, but I started viewing this not completely blank, but after peeking at the description on IMDb. After not too many minutes watching I felt that I had stumbled onto a gem. I could not understand the rating given. Therefore I _had_ to give my honest opinion about this film and rate it accordingly. I can fully recommend this movie as a well written, action packed and, not least important - out of the ordinary type of story. This film starts out high in adrenaline. I was anxious that this would not last. But after some time I was only anxious that the end would not be as good as it had been so far... Silly, I know. Recommendeeeed... (Slight spoil ahead.) There's a lot of fighting in this movie, and I like to think that even if it _is_ a movie, the fighting is very close to realistic. It even seems she has to give way somewhat to larger weight but takes it back with technique, and while most fights in movies makes someone skilled in martial arts laugh out loud, the performance here is mostly impressive with how close to realism they've managed to make it.
