Reviews

From reading the reviews you'd think this movie was terrible and John Washington is the worst actor ever but that's not remotely accurate.

The movie is well put together and plays like a classic thriller similar to The French Connection, The Fugitive, etc. As other reviewers have said. John Washington puts in a solid performance. The anxiety ridden man we see dealing with the stress and confusion of be chased and attacked after what started as an accident is quite compelling.

The moment the conspiracy is revealed where a far right group was up to no good, the review bombing finally made sense. From there it's a good conspiracy thriller. Perhaps the snowflakes review bombing should take a look at themselves if they feel attacked by a fictional narrative.

All in all, its a good film in the crosshairs of right wing nut jobs who are detached from reality. Don't listen to the snowflakes and enjoy the ride. A solid 7.5.

The movie jumps around in time, starting close to the end of the story then jumping back to give a little back story then back forward and back again and forward... The back and forth is an interesting way to tell the story and it keeps you watching for a while. But by the time they replay the same scene for the fourth time, you're asking yourself, "why do I care whats happening?" None of the characters really stand out as interesting, as we've all seen these characters before. By the end I was wondering, "where is this even going?" The end result... nowhere. Unremarkable as a whole but with a deeper back story and more substance it could have been better.

There is no redeeming value in this movie. If you watched the trailer, you've seen every decently entertaining moment of the movie.

The entire movie drags from the poor acting (minus Natalie Portman, the only thing worthwhile), bad accents and dialog that had to be written by a 12 year old. I'll admit that I like a good dirty joke but what we have here is random lines thrown together attempting some sort of shock value. They get the shock but its more of an, "I can't believe this movie got funding" kind of shock.

By the end of this movie I was amazed at how far James Franco had fallen and also wondered why Natalie Portman would even attach herself to such a giant pile of crap. Do yourself a favor and pass on this one.
