Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
Suman Roberson It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
Calum Hutton It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...
Noelle The movie is surprisingly subdued in its pacing, its characterizations, and its go-for-broke sensibilities.
donkrishna-dk The only thing is good in this movie only Gina Carano. The other things regarding this movie is so bad. With such incredible casts like Michael Douglas, Antonio Banderas, Ewan McGregor, Fassbender, Chaning Tatum, etc this film can not compete "The Raid" franchise. I mean "The Raid" budget must be lower than this movie but the car chase is better than this movie.
afortiorama This is a really good action movie with some really good fights and really good music throughout. I didn't know who Gina Carano was before this but she kicks ass quite credibly. I definitely like the solidity of her character and also the solidity of her body. She looks healthily muscular.
dlancecarrington I really liked this movie. The story is very straightforward. Carano plays a hired operative who gets double crossed and has to find out how and why. Simple. It reminds me of Soderbergh's Oceans 11 in that it is well paced, well shot, and not over the top. Other reviewers compared it to Salt and the Bourne series. That's a huge misrepresentation. Those movies are over the top yawn fests. This movie has better dialogue, a better soundtrack, and a great supporting cast, including Michael Douglas, Antonio Banderas, and Evan Macgregor. Carano holds her own and fits the part perfectly. Yes, she kicks a lot of ass, but she doesn't seem invincible. More determined, like Liam Neeson from the first Taken film. At a brisk 1:30 hours this film never overstays its welcome. It never tries to do too much - no giant explosions or lengthy car chases, and no overindulgent quick-edits. Soderbergh keeps it simple and that's the beauty of this movie.
Joe Nelson I decided to check this movie out, not because of the story/plot/characters, but because I heard the action scenes were good. Unfortunately, it didn't live up to the hype. The first fight in the diner managed to get me excited, but by the second one, I had had enough. Both scenes had lots of cuts, which is typical of Hollywood action, but the first one was better choreographed and "harder hitting". Now, I can live with a crappy story if the action is good, and can I live with crappy action if the story is good, but not crappy everything. Perhaps later fight scenes might have met, or exceeded, the bar they set with the first one, but I didn't feel like spending 2 hours to see if 20 minutes of action may or may not be good. It just had too much bad dragging the thing down.First, the score was absolutely terrible and extremely distracting. Every time music played, I was reminded of just how bad it was. Second, information about the story and characters is drip fed to the audience. I don't know if this was intended to create interest, and a desire to find out what was going on, but it just didn't work. I found myself growing increasingly annoyed at being kept in the dark. Third, the lead has potential as an action star, and I liked her well enough in Deadpool, but I'm not quite sure she's leading actress material. Perhaps she was hindered by the script and/or director, but she lacked the skill/on-screen charisma to carry this hot mess.
