I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
hyped garbage
what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
First 5 minutes watched and already dreading it, all awkward lines in the script, horrible. The couple seem fake, the extras seem fake and the bartender seriously fake.Terrorists seems fake, shooting looks fake, cgi wounds and bullets from cheap production budgets seem fake, terrorist extras walking around holding guns down walking about not knowing what to do during the shootings was a major flaw. Easily noticeable immediately after another fake looking leg shot - off camera like he stood there for 30 seconds and stopped running to find his gf for no reason, crap.Then they point blank shoot his gf in the neck and only get him in the shoulder but for some reason come back ignore him crawling in the sand next to her and just shoot his dead gf again. I guess to shock us? But instead it's just fake bad filming again.That is within the first 4 minutes...thats how bad it is so not waste 2 hours watching it.
Can believe this could happen in real life, the main guys are really good and I believed the pain they felt, the action and fighting is very real hard to watch at times, as it's so real, but I loved this film. I did not want it to end to be honest, it's a very good, spy, action, drama film etc
I was surprised to be really enjoying this film for the first three-quarters of the movie as I am a big fan of the Bourne Films and this had some similar plot lines, pacing and action. Characters were believable, nice locations, and things moved along well with good twists and turns.But then, towards the end, it turned into Battleship, of all films!?! Sadly I just switched off, being left with a feeling of how close the producers came to completing a thoroughly enjoyable film. I real shame :-(But I'd still recommend giving it a watch, if only for the first three-quarters of 'Bourne Lite'. And if you like 'Battleship' then that's a bonus! :-)
O'Brien impressed in the role, he fits the character. However, the writing needs major work. The plot contains gaping holes and does not convey much of a linear story. The movie was poorly adapted from the novels. With that being said, the actors flourished within their roles to offset the lack of story. The production value, particularly the stunts, were very impressive. The hand to hand combat was well acted. My hope is that the next movie in the franchise will have a much better plot. Wait until it is optioned for tv, but don't pay money to see this movie.
