It's all about those pesky expectations...

If you have seen a good number of action movies then you know that there are certain things that you should expect from them. Not that the stories don't change a bit, but the sequencing, the pacing, the overall feel and vibe of the movie is going to be quite similar. If that's what you have come to expect, you're on the right track here.

Wasn't a terrible movie. Emile Hirsch did a decent enough job in the titular role. Kate Bosworth held her own. Mel Gibson showed up with what has become his own grit and wit. The story is awkwardly similar to Hurricane Heist in many regards, but gets the job done a little better, probably due to stronger acting in general.

Decent popcorn tosser or background noise.

In all honesty I'll admit I didn't really 'watch' this film, it was on in the background whilst I played some games.

*But* when I stick films on in the background they normally grab my attention a few times, and I can keep up with the plot easily enough.
I can say I kept up with the plot of this one, but from what I can tell the dialogue wasn't great, as there was nothing that particularly stood out, as it was a bit of the over tired tropes, and predictable from the outset.

There were a couple of good looking set pieces and action sequences, and the rest didn't look terrible.

If you are looking for an easy to watch sci-fi action film, that's not too heavy on plot, character development, or being overly sciencey, then this could be for you!

"I was up in Glasgow, Stephen Pastel gave me that record and it's since become one of my favourites because it's really nice to listen to lying down and relaxing. Sometimes that's what you want from a record, you just want to let it wash over you, and I find that one does it in a very pleasant way. Pulp and The Pastels were in similar dire financial straits because we were both signed to this terrible label called Fire Records. We both got screwed through that, but that wasn't what we bonded over. Stephen has an amazing record shop up in Glasgow called Monorail that's been going for a while. I remember him starting that back when everyone was saying 'well why would you open a record shop when that's a dead format', I think he was quite far-sighted there. "
