A solid 2
12 July 2007
I give this movie a solid 2. The acting is terrible. The plot is horrible. The sets are boring. You could turn the sound off and follow along without any problems it is so idiotic. What little plot there is, is predictable. There is really nothing redeeming about this film - except - the Duff girls. They are smoking hot. Based on those two pieces of eye candy alone, I give the "two".

Without their looks I would give it a 0.

If you want to watch a better chick teen flick, try Mean Girls. Or watch a real movie like Animal House or Bullitt or Gladiator or Apocolypto or Cinderella Man.

Thriller - Not.
11 June 2007
Wow. Two hours and 9 minutes of my life wasted. OK, we got it 15 minutes into the film - Africa has problems. There is social injustice in the world. Fine. What I was expecting was a "first rate spy game" and "Riveting! A taut and gripping thriller." as the DVD cover stated. What I got was a two hour lecture on social injustices in Africa. The ending is a forgone conclusion 1/2 of the way through. There is in my estimation less than two minutes of any actual action in this movie. Spy game? I must have blinked and missed it.

I would have given it a 1 but the scenery shots and Fiennes acting were pretty good.

Not worth the rental. Who the heck is rating this movie an 7, as is the IMDb average?!
