Artivels Undescribable Perfection
WasAnnon Slow pace in the most part of the movie.
Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
The Couchpotatoes No doubt Morgan Freeman is a quality actor but you have to admit that sometimes he appears in bad movies. This one is again a perfect example where they use his name and where he has a minor role. Not that it would change anything if he had a bigger part in Momentum. The movie is a typical cat and mouse action movie. The action is okay even though a lot of the usual exaggerations. Since the series The Following I can't stand James Purefoy anymore. I think he's a very limited actor and he proves it again in this movie. And of course you need a nice looking bimbo as the super well trained chick that can take anybody down in a second. In this movie you get even two of those superwomen. Olga Kurylenko and Jenna Saras are apparently better fighters then any other special agents. The movie is full of clichés and sometimes so boring to watch you wonder how they come up with it. Besides a couple good action scenes the movie is just dumb and a waste of time.
Zeech Oh Lordy Lordy what turkey this was. Only bothered to watch this coz of Morgan. The first few seconds with his voice over sets up a kewl vibe where you reach for a brew and blunt and get comfy in the lazy boy and then… nothing but corn camp villain with English public school accent (coz we all know the British are up to no good) fighting it out with a pathetic flat ass hero whose pretty face has one expression… BLAND! Even the action scenes couldn't stop me from adjusting my lazy boy to sleep mode. It's 2016 and our standards are high from Bourne Conspiracy and a zillion Kung Fu movies. The action scenes here are like the 1970's cop films, OK back then but well stale now. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME!! if you're going to watch cheezy cliché crap make it bearable at least and do a 50 Cent straight to video move at least my man has swagger which always goes well with a brew and blunt.
nowplaying108 Every action movie needs a macguffin. A macguffin is the reason everyone is running around killing each other. It's nice if when you finally learn the macguffin it carries some value and sense of reality that fits into the film and makes all the action and mayhem seem worthwhile. Unfortunately, the ending in this movie is both incredibly stupid and utterly ridiculous. It amazes me how many movies can be destroyed in the last five minutes and this is one of them. The writers, director and producers should be ashamed of themselves. On the plus side all the actors are really good. Olga Kurylenko is particularly cool. The action is good. But then there's the ending and you feel like you've wasted 90 minutes of your time and want to take a shower to wash the stupidity out of your head.
Peter Pluymers "Nobody saw your face and I shot that dumb prick. So if I get popped, I go down for the job and a murder.""Momentum" is a swirling, action-packed crime film, supplemented with a political intrigue and a professional female fighting machine who causes quite some damage on her opponents. This is once again another spectacular action film, you'll remember nothing of after a while. How they succeeded in enrolling Morgan Freeman for such a minor part, is a mystery to me. However, his cooperation was no guarantee this would result in a masterful and memorable film. His contribution is virtually nil. Hopefully Freeman won't end up in a Willis-Cage situation. That would certainly be a sad thing for such a talented actor. Alex (Olga Kurylenko) is a female thief who commits a bank robbery with her companions in South Africa (in "Tron" looking, futuristic costumes). The robbery ends in a fiasco after one of the gang members freaks out, gets murdered and Alex's identity is being revealed. What they didn't know was that there's a USB stick among the captured diamonds. This flashcard is pretty valuable for an American, corrupt senator (Morgan Freeman), who sends a series of assassins, led by Mr. Washington (James Purefoy), after them. They liquidate anyone that comes in their way and who isn't willing to corporate in their search for this item."Momentum" is a no-frills film with a series of well choreographed scenes that follow one another at breathtaking speed. An entertaining film, with a female action hero in the leading role, that you can watch in a mind-to-zero state. This due to the lack of any logic (the car driving backwards in the garage was completely ridiculous). The ending feels unsatisfying and is clearly a step towards a sequel. I guess we'll be waiting for that endlessly, because this film wasn't really successful. It's not truly memorable. The only thing I can remember vividly, is that Kurylenko is blessed with a heavenly looking butt and that it's repeatedly shown here. Her expression, however, is almost identical to her perky and beautiful buttocks. Impassive and tight, that is. The only one who really amused himself in this film was Purefoy. His performance as the fierce, cold-blooded Mr. Washington, who still finds time to make a funny remark during ice-cold liquidations, was at certain moments (Uh yeah) quite magnificent. The interaction between the two opponents was fascinating.So if you feel like watching a fast-paced, thrilling action movie, "Momentum" will provide some momentary amusement. It's packed with fight sequences, chases and lots of bullets flying around, while Kurylenko wriggles her athletic body every which way to avoid hem. A superficial film just to forget about a rainy day.More reviews here : http://bit.ly/1KIdQMT
