Am I Missing Something?

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

I liked it. Costner gives one of those great perforrnances that kinda comes outta nowhere. I liked the London setting - a welcome change to the US city setting we're so used to. Quite a few reviewers complain about plot holes that are not there; they were evidently not paying much attention whilst watching it - their short attention spans are not the movie's problem.

What a bore! This expendables thing with past middle aged actors trying to do action is okay in a comedy but when it is the main focus of a serious action movie it just doesn't hold up. Kevin Costner's grunting and the rest of the gang Tommy Lee Jones and Gary Oldman just can't carry an action movie. Maybe a switch the other way would have been better from old to young.Because of the icky age difference factor there is no chemistry or emotional connection with the daughter or his wife Wonder Woman's Gal Gadot.Terrible waste, don't bother.

PROS: This movie was intense, that's for sure. I was really shook by the whole experience. From the first 10 minutes with RYAN REYNOLDS I knew that I bitten off more than I could chew with this movie. I enjoyed the finesse in which the director was able to conduct the movie. Although I was startled by the movie at first, I really got to see what the director wanted to get across to the audience. He had a vision and it was well broadcasted. From the opening scene to the closing I was at the edge of my seat and completely entranced. I couldn't not see the finale of the film because I had previously got so invested in the process.PROS: The con is simple... ACTING! I don't understand how it is so hard to convey an emotion that the script has pretty much written out for you. You can't try to pull an emotion out of thin air, that's when it becomes unrealistic and shows through the film as being wicked fake. The director had the main character as being someone that it was OK to dislike, but when you got to the end you were supposed to like him. I didn't like him at all. It's hard to like someone when they act fake. That unbalanced vibe that the acting gave to the film is just plain disrespectful.www.chorror.com

This is my favorite Kevin Costner movie since Waterworld. And it's a successful merger of Bourne-like CIA with a science fiction element excitingly tied to a very primal villain. This is the sort of movie where you cheer as you munch your popcorn. If you like action this is an original and very welcome contribution to the genre.
