Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Intense, gripping, stylish and poignant

Don't Believe the Hype

The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

While i am tempted to give this movie a 1/10 to offset the top reviews it is more like a 3/10. It lacks in everything, reasonable story, empty acting and horrible editing. While the story might have made it a poor mediocre film, the video editing was just dismal. After 10 minutes of watch vague and shaky shots i was exhausted. In some poor attempt to make it more "realistic" every shot is shaky, like a handy-cam. That would have been a bad idea even if the acting was solid. But the acting was also poor. Even the main character is completely 2D and everybody else is barely present. It seems they only had money for a couple of takes. All in all its awful just awful.

Pretty good flick all around I have to say. My own taste would lean more on the CIA and Spy facet of the story. However that's because I happen to be more fascinated in that material. At the same time it was good to see a show like this for variation. Without giving away too much plot, I found the conclusion gratifying. Given the spirit of the storyline it paid off by coming full circle for the Josefina character. She gave a fine performance, I might add. And conceptually I felt the ending added credence to the film. That was my sense. Maybe it worked for me or anyone connected to the idea of memory and reflection of apparent. I hope that was vague enough. Actors and actresses were all very good too. Thanks.

This was a solid film overall. I enjoyed the setting of Seattle and the photography and story and the actors. I am always interested in what Eric Roberts does and an actor and find him to be electric on screen. The actor that plays the spy character is fantastic. I've seen him in another other films and always like his acting. I liked the actress as well that plays his daughter and found the lawyer character very unique and different. I got caught up in this film in a gradual way. Based on the description I sensed that I should not plan or expect the movie to be something of action but more of a character film and for that I liked the movie. Another thumbs up about the movie was the casting of the girl that plays the her daughter. Movies sometimes don't seem to cast the best children that feel real and this girl was very, very solid.

When i faced the choice of watching this movie, I visited the IMDb page for guidance. Despite having a low rating, i decided to watch this movie because of the top comment that called it a 'superb movie'. Folks, let me be precise. This movie is a total waste of time and i am confused why the top reviewer ever called it superb at all? This movie is not even close to be called mediocre. I wonder why the top review never got buried? The movie has got nothing in its credit to gain any rating. The acting was dead, the script was non-existent, the music wasn't even worth it at all.If given an option again, I would prefer to watch Mickey Mouse's cartoons than this garbage of a movie.People, don't bother to watch this one. I have had a very bad experience with this one and would never ever recommend this flick to anyone...I just wish i could un-see this movie.
