Teringer An Exercise In Nonsense

Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Ilikebooks If you are bored, you might enjoy this. The story line is all over the place. It is never established of what he did or how it really played into the plot line. He is a veteran but it lacks information about what he did. The characters didn't really connect and the ending shoot out was (I think) as merely shock value or some commentary on the War on Terror. The the movie tried too hard to show this and it failed. It left an open ending which didn't really give any suspense and was a lackluster effort to show what the ongoing conflict is really about. Perhaps the focus should have stayed with a local situation as opposed to leaning towards a boarder appeal. It might have lead the viewer to establish more empathy about each character but it's impossible do so when the characters drop suddenly from the move.

fooser77 Just watched this via Netflix. I am veteran as well, so was curious about this. Startling in its realism. Both action wise and its message. Very entertaining for an action-drama. Like Brian Cox here. All other actors did a sufficient job. The messages portrayed here, really hit home.The war has just begun. Live by the sword. Die by the sword. A line uttered by Alayna re: Al-Quaida, will be most disturbing to most, but is very accurate. Langdon scoffing at the remark, later confirms the statement to Miller towards the end, about the need for world domination via terror. (9/11, 7/7, Mumbai, etc.)A brutal display of life in the intelligence community. A must see for all that can stomach the real world, as it really is.

As it started I feared it would be a re-trodden path of the ex-soldier having a hard time readjusting and dealing with depression, which in a way it was. However, the story soon split into several subplots, raising my level of interest and intrigue, before building into a crescendo of a well acted and nicely, gritty shot espionage film.I read the review by Ced Yuen, and I'm a little surprised someone would try to dismantle this film and attack it's exaggeration of reality in terms of how a returning soldier would react and how non-realistic the ensuing action was. This film is pure entertainment, with a gritty, sue-do- realism that is obviously from the mind of a writer who intended to entertain with an interesting and exciting story. It's not supposed to be a documentary of great insight into the mind of a war veteran.I thoroughly enjoyed this film, and recommend it if you are in the mood for something different, yet very entertaining, with a nice mix of genre that you would not usually come across. "totally agree, very bright and a good movie.

kosmasp Toby Kebbell that is. A powerhouse performance by a guy you might not have taken notice up until now. But if you watch this, you will at least remember his face (with time and maybe some luck on his part, concerning movie roles, maybe even his name). While the movie has its flaws his performance doesn't have any.As you can tell by the rating (R), it does not pull any punches or anything else. You don't have to be too careful to follow the story, but it does take a certain level of commitment to stay with it until the end. Our main protagonist is an anti hero. And yet, while he doesn't want to be in the top spot, he never shies away from responsibility. Or "doing the right thing."
