General impression:
The main idea of this movie is brilliant, but… that’s about it. The acting is… not good, intensity is missing, and it soon becomes just another action movie dilluting a great idea in a sea of stunts, special effects and overall rigidity. It bored me, and left me with the feeling I wasted time watching it.
Highlights:
The theme of the movie.
Downside:
Pretty much everything else.
Would I see it again? – I can do without.
My Rating (1 to 10): 5
Recommended: No
Suggestion:
Watch it only if you have an afternoon to waste, and like action movies… and/or Scarlett Johansson.
