I wanted to like this movie just a little better than I ended up doing. It's pretty good, but just not good enough to be great.
It has a really low score (in the 30's) on Metacritic, so I kind of expected it to be bad. It is not that bad at all, though. It has a higher score here on IMDb, which shows that sometimes professional critics are a little too stuck up. Anyway.
First off, the action is really good. There's some fighting, and some shooting, and it is well executed, well directed. The fights in particular, not a lot of fighting here, but the choreography is great.
The story is a little bit of a mystery and is interesting enough. They probably could have done more with it, but hey.
The movie could have been a little shorter, a little tighter.
I'm a big Ryan Reynolds fan, so naturally I enjoyed it more just because of him. He plays a bad ass, and I like bad asses.
The movie is well shot, and has a couple of really cool single shots.
All in all I was entertained, and it's not impossible that I'll re-watch it some time.
