User Review
Meh....
Rating: 4/10
I've literally just seen this and came out of the cinema thinking 'Was
that it?'. OK, the fight sequences were good, an easy rival for the
likes of Bourne, and the occasional one line comments did make me
chuckle but the acting, especially from the lead character, was pretty
poor. I even expected more from the likes of Douglas, McGregor and
Fassbender!
The general plot was there and developed over what seemed like 3 hours,
however I felt the film was disjointed, predictable, and why she
insisted on befriending a random bloke and telling him her entire life
story after stealing his car is beyond me.
All in all I felt cheated, let down, and like I was watching a well
budgeted university film.
