    A good take on action/adventure film - great that location is not the standard NY/LA et.al. set. Further script is not “America saves the world”. Of course American reviews are bad - not enough blood with explicit violence. - i.e. movie is good and worth watching.
  • I Watched This Twice, Back-to-Back!

    I love this movie, and I watched it twice back-to-back—it was as thrilling the second time as the first. As far as the rotten tomatoes go—if the critics hate it, I tend to like it, and this was another case in point. The movie is beautifully filmed and acted. I found the story of the young, untrained American in peril—and trying to save his family—compelling. His quick thinking saves himself and the day. It's the kind of movie that lends itself to wondering: "What would I do in this situation." I'm hoping for sequels!

    it was a struggle to make it to the end of this. i thought it was going to be a good movie because of bruce willis, but he couldn’t save it for obvious reasons. They even managed to ruin the whole good guy gets the girl in the end bit. Even the requisite violence was half-a**ed. watch it if you have time to kill, but you’ll only watch it once.
  • Really… I thought I'd fight the odds and watch it

    I was wrong. Bad choice. Save yourself the 4.99.

    Im sure I was going to spend my money on something stupid. Well this movie was it. It's a very boring "B" grade movie if I ever saw one. Don't waste your money. Besides Bruce Willis dies in the beggining of the flick. Waste of time and $$$..

    Wow, as in, I can't beleive they are selling this flick. I thought everyones' acting was horrible, which is a shame cause I usually like Weaver and Willis. It was a struggle to finish. Preview and story were ok, but should of read the reviews.

    wow. i'm seeing most reviews rated this movie as poor. wish i would have looked here before i rented. the best actor, bruce willis, should have been used more and maybe this movie would have been a tad better (love his sardonic humor in other movies). unfortunately this movie is just boring. predictable story and unmoving. sorry folks.
