Evengyny Thanks for the memories!

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Mister Co. A mildly entertaining action flick, no more no less. Rather bloodless in the action scenes and many of the jokes have been done before in better films...Looks like a pilot for a network US TV show, only a couple of f-words would put it apart from any show on CBS or whatever. To be honest, I only bothered with it thanks to the gorgeous Katie Mcgrath being in it (I'm a big fan of Merlin... damn, why can't anyone put this lovely and talented actress in a BIG film, and no, JURASSIC WORLD doesn't count because she was in it for about five minutes... ;o)) It's an OK watch if you're feeling a bit undemanding...
shinyhalo-1 This is your typical movie like "Fast and Furious" or XXX where the rebellious youths end up working for the government. It feeds the pathetic and immature desires to "fit in" and "be liked" by those more powerful than you. I'd love to see one of these types of movies go full out Rebellion for a change instead of groveling to the government for their table scraps. The pace of the movie is good and makes this an acceptable watch if you are sick one day and need a dozen movies you've never seen yet. The actors were skilled, especially the lead. The director is not responsible for the story-line either so he gets credit for making the movie a passable watch.
randymcbeast From start to finish this movie really delivered. I was blown away in fact at how much I enjoyed it. A surprise really given I didn't know too much about the movie going in.The cast, aside from James Caan and Kevin Dillon, are relatively unknown which actually made the movie even more interesting and fun given how well they all did. I'm a huge Dillon fan though from his Entourage days so he really stole the show for me, especially with his character reminding me of a character Johnny 'Drama' Chase might play. He was hilarious throughout.The movie overall moved along at a lightning pace and was packed with action, suspense, fun and laughs. One scene in particular blew me out of my chair it was so funny. I even watched it over again and laughed just as hard. Speaking of watching it over again, I may just watch this one over again from the start. It's just that kind of movie. A potential cult classic even.
Filmstv Andlife I really enjoyed this slapstick comedy. It is the mother of B grade action films and really makes fun of what has become of the Hollywood Action genre.The jokes are corny and satirize everything from the now obligatory hot chick fight and female assassin to the ridiculous Hollywood "foreigner" talks funny and is charming trope. The plot developments such as literally hot wiring a gas station to oh no the thumb drive has been dropped and is now unusable are absolutely hilarious. A healthy dose of the American, "lets blow sh?t up routine" is thrown in for good measure. I really enjoyed this picture and whilst it wasn't A grade cinema it was terribly good at a B grade takedown of Hollywood Action stereotypes.Oh and to Marcus_Rehnberg I am certainly not on any *payroll* eithercheck out other reviews and things that may interest you on my *unpaid* site filmstvandlife.wordpress.com C U There!!!!!!
