Not my favourite superhero action flick
Is it blasphemy to say I didn't think this was a great film? Sometimes the humour seemed to be laid on too thick. And the misogyny just pissed me off. I can never take Ryan Reynolds seriously, he seems to always have the same kind of cocky character in most films. The best part was the subtle jibes against the X-Men universe.

Fun!
This sci-fi action adventure turned out to be a great flick! Good acting with great cinematography/visuals and a well written story line. The really cool combination of CGI and live action made this a really fun story to watch. Interesting take on the future with the "battle" roller derby games and the cyborg usage. All you sci-fi fans will enjoy this movie. Worth a watch!

It's very tough to keep the audience interested in a film set in a wooden box for 90mins. However this film does keep you wondering, it has tension and makes you feel you are in that box as well. It's as good as it can be really, and shows Ryan Reynolds is an underrated actor. He can do much more than goofy comedies or the usual action flick.

I thought he was great in this, very different type of film for him.

I liked this movie. It definitely is not one I would have watched at all, if not for my film appreciation class, but I thought the cinematography was well done. I was anxious the whole movie.

A pretty decent London gangster flick with an impressive largely English cast. It starts a bit slow, but soon gets going. Some of the smaller story lines don't add up too much and one or two developments in the plot don't make a great deal of sense. However it is pretty decent with a good finish, a lot like Layer cake in the second half of the film.

The usual Guy Ritchie gangster romp
Anybody who has seen a Guy Ritchie gangster flick will not be disappointed. The usual colourful characters, language and violence run right through with never a dull moment. Expect the plot twists and turns common in his films. Hugh Grant's performance is a fresh change from his usual stiff upper lip, straight laced British posh chap he is famous for.

"Coming up to more recent years, I think Meet Joe Black, again, was a tear-jerky chick flick for me that I loved. And the performances…Anthony Hopkins can do no wrong, Brad Pitt‘s become a favorite as well, and Claire Forlani — stop already! All that girl has to do is blink and I’m enraptured. And that was another romance with a sci-fi twist; death coming to take a holiday."
