Good old style shoot 'em thriller
A fairly plain and simple action thriller, with over the top characters. Almost like a comic book adaption with a retro twist. A man on the run gets arrested hoping that will keep him safe. The hitmen on his tail have other ideas.
It's a little slow to getting going but it's not long before the chaos ensues and the bullets flying everywhere. Funny in places and Alexis Louder was impressive in her role. One to switch the brain off to and just enjoy the show.

The first rule of Fight Club is ...
... you didn't talk about Fight Club.

That's virtually all my beforehand knowledge of this movie, which it's only taken me (roughly) 25 years to get around to watching.

And I wish I hadn't bothered: that's slightly over 2 hours of my life (that felt like 25+ years) that I'll never get back again ...

Bleak, depressing, and with an incredibly obvious 'twist' telegraphed virtually from the get-go, I found little to recommend in this, and even less to enjoy.

One to avoid.
(And at least I can now say I've seen it ...)

Watched yesterday probably the first time I've seen at the cinema that was meant Netflix but for one week only its Been at cinemas cross the country anyway the film going into the sequel could top the orignal knives out yes it does from the many red herrings thruout the film to Daniel Craig's dodgy accent as beniot blanc the only returning cast member from the first movie. There's a twist in the middle of the movie that I didn't see coming which I won't give away and a surprise cameo which I wasn't expecting either overall good movie

Pretty basic plot (0 more)
A typically odd film from M. Night Shyamalan. A group of people on Holiday end up at a Beach. It soon becomes apparent they are ageing rapidly, roughly a year per 30 minutes. Can they escape or stop this phenomenon from happening?
There are some interesting ideas that crop up as a result of the situation they find themselves in. Overall though it's a pretty basic storyline and run of events without a huge twist at the end as is with his other films. OK for a watch but not something I'd watch again.
