Movies

Half way through this snore fest I started playing Sudoku!This is an extreme load of rubbish.I'm a hacker, I mean a secret agent, I mean a ninja...I'm surprised he didn't develop a special set of skills!!!The movie is painfully slow and staggeringly uninteresting. Including the budget Bond villain they throw at us.The acting from all participants is poor, especially Viola Davis who looks like she really regretted taking a part in the movie and vowed to only use one facial expression as revenge.If you want to spend two hours better than this, start watching the test pattern or some static!

If you are not in tune with the movie, you will not get as electrified by it and the events happening (pun intended). Michael Mann has done better movies (think about Heat), but this one is way better than the current rating on IMDb (just over 5). Even if you didn't like it that much, the technical aspect of it, the action sequences alone warrant that this is not just mediocre movie.Obviously there are things that happen to easy, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have tension or decides to turn on its side to surprise or at least shock the viewer. There is one particular scene that almost made me jump out of my chair (towards the end). It did trigger the right buttons with me and it'll be easy to tell if you can relate to that or be just "blah" while watching ...

I would like to characterize this movie in three simple statements (1) way too long (2) poor casting and (3) lack of character development. It was overall boring as heck!
