Noutions Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated

Konterr Brilliant and touching

Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

abufahad-28271 The pace of the movie could have been faster... It was like watching an art movie... The twists and turns were ok... The only twist I didn't see coming was at the end. Otherwise.. a better movie could have been produced with the same story line

Filmwatcher Looks like the trolls and competitor studios decided to sink this one, which is unfortunate as it is worth a watch. Of course if you like your films full of students that can't act, filmed on a mobile, on a budget that costs no more than a cup a coffee, using a generic poster for their film that is nothing like their film, then get some mates to write big reviews and claim it's a fantastic film ... then this film is not for you! This film has a top notch cast, looks great and looks like a real film, great music and storyline with a few surprises.Reminded me of a Brian De Palma / Hitchcock film, has a strong opening with then a slow burner build up , but not too slow, second act gets interesting and the final act with a good few twists and good pay off , would class as a thriller rather then a drama, with scenes of violence and second half with a fast pace. It's not something i would watch twice, but well worth watching once, don't listen to the trolls and their agendas, likely hood they probably didn't even watch it!!

blanche-2 I'm embarrassed to say I actually liked this film.Let me say up front, despite some of the reviews here, I had no trouble following it.I also admit I did figure most of it out. This, however, did not keep me from being entertained.I am surprised Pacino and Hopkins signed on for this as neither role is especially great.Someone, somewhere, greenlit this thing and gave it a decent budget, even though it's a first-time director (Shintaro Shimosawa).The story concerns am ambitious young man, Ben Cahill (Josh Duhamel) who goes after fraud perpetrated by a pharmaceutical company owned by Arthur Denning (Anthony Hopkins). Cahill has been cutting corners to make his cases all along; this one is no different, as he obtained the information illegally from an old girlfriend (Malin Akerman). Ben's boss (Al Pacino) gives him the go-ahead to pursue it.Things unravel pretty quickly, as Ben is threatened not only with danger to himself but his wife (Alice Eve); he finds his ex- girlfriend dead and goes on the run.Okay, I happen to think this was an excellent plot clumsily handled by this director, who maybe should have started with something simpler. This is a very complex story to put across, and while some of the camera angles are interesting and I would say this man has talent, it wasn't put together quite right. He tried for a Pulp Fiction thing that didn't quite come off, for one thing; and for another it's just too all over the place.Another problem is that every suspense or mystery movie nowadays has to end with a twist since Usual Suspects. Well, now the twists are expected and passe, so what writers are doing now are putting twists within the twists. It's too much. The acting was okay, but the husband-wife thing between Alice Eve and Duhamel was sketchy and not fleshed out. Not sure who to blame there.Nevertheless, this was a good rental - not sure how I would have felt with these big names attached if I had paid $12 in the theater.

kz917-1 With talent like Pacino and Hopkins I was expecting something stellar. What you get in sections is rather lukewarm, but other parts of the movie are on fire! In the end the twists of the movie are what saved it. The film makers leave you guessing until the very end and even then they pull a double twist that makes your jaw drop. Could have been better, but if you like the actors worth a rental.
