One of the worst movies I've ever seen
Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.
View MoreThrough painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
View MoreThe film may be flawed, but its message is not.
As an action-thriller with the neo-dark flair it's just fine. I never expected 'Jason Bourne' levels of plots and conspiracies, so the movie is easy to follow. Phair lady Gina Carano deserved more screen-time, she was sort of a wasted talent in this and was proll'y not supposed to upstage Kellan Lutz who did a good job overall - he's believable as a tough guy. Bruce Willis has very limited screen time - an aging movie tough guy passing the torch.For me, it works.I'd simply ignore some of the "reviews" on this site. Not the low ratings, which are alright... Unsubstantiated trash-talk however, carries zero weight.Maybe some of the main criticism stems from people expecting to watch Willis in an alternate 'Die Hard' lead role. This one is technically a 5.5-6.0/10 for me, but a 7.0 to counter a lower than deserved rating is fair.

View MoreThis could have been a good movie, unfortunately the director sucked. He didn't have a clue and that's too bad
View MoreThis movie essentially begins with a veteran CIA field agent by the name of "Leonard Turner" (Bruce Willis) being abducted by terrorists who also manage to seize a valuable piece of computer technology from him in the process. Naturally, considering the impact this package might have on the security of the United States an immediate effort is made to find those responsible and either regain or disable the computer device before it can be used. As it so happens, Leonard has a son named "Harry Turner" (Kellan Lutz) who works as an agent for the CIA as well but because he hasn't been certified as a field agent he is not allowed to become involved in the rescue of his father or the reacquisition of the computer equipment in any manner. Harry, on the other hand, has no interest in sitting on the sidelines and as a result he decides to disobey orders and go it alone. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this has to be one of the most ridiculous films I have seen in a long time as it completely ignores both reality and common sense. Not only that but the film seemed to follow a paint-by-the-numbers approach which further degraded it even more. In short, this wasn't a very good movie and for that reason I have rated it accordingly. Below average.
