this would have been a more or less decent thriller, if it weren't for one extremely confusing major plot point:

[spoiler] why were they trying to kill him in the first place? i spent the entire second half of the movie expecting this to be explained, but it never was! [/spoiler]

did i miss something? wtf was that all about?

I genuinely enjoyed this one, it sort of reminded me of the movie shooter. It had its dull moments but then the action scenes had you on the edge of your seat. It’s worth an watch if you like bank heist/robbery movies.

Wow. That was dull. Trailer looked exciting, full of action in that classic conspiracy genre. This ended up being turgid with talent wasted. Big fan of Ben Foster and he was underused. What action was stupid and over too quickly. Such wasted potential. See why this was dumped without any fanfare onto streaming. Not even worth a straight to video… dull.

Mostly fairly boring and predictable. I was hoping for much better :-(

Chris Pine is good, movie is bad.

This movie had so much potential. The editing was absolutely awful, you'd see a scene with Chris on a roof going to a ladder and the next cut is him standing on the ground in front of his wife. The cuts were so badly placed in so many areas.

sucks ass , don't waste your time

This wasn't a bad movie, but very formulaic for this genre. I like Chris Pine in a lot of things he does, but equally don't like him in just as many. He isn't a great actor and I always watch him thinking "James T. Kirk". Overall this is a very predictable plot line but it's an entertaining action flick, nothing more and nothing less.

Not really sure where the story was going or the point of the movie. Seemed like some writers got drunk & wrote a half assed script then somehow convinced some investors and conned few actors. I guess you can make anything these days and call it a movie.

Don’t waste your time watching this movie.

How do you make police officers with pistols take out half your team? You’re suppose to be elite solders no?

Movie was very slow, thing they could have at least done one job clean first before taking out the whole squad on the first mission so at least we know the family would be even more set if he dies. You already made us get invested in the family so.

So they just so happen to have a blood bag and what they need for a transfusion? Lol yea ok. Ive never seen that in a go bag

He just pops out the water without being cautious.

So much stuff dont make any sense. How can you ride your bike towards him and make him hit you with a brick lol you didn’t see that coming?

Why wouldn’t they surround the building. What tactics are these soldiers using? All seem like amateurs

Again why would you advance on someone that has a rifle and you have a pistol. You stay put until your other man can get inside :man_facepalming_tone3: guess they had to kill the guy somehow

Wtf was that ending!! Bullshit

After watching "All the Old Knives", I was all right with watching another Chris Pine movie. This one, however, was lacking in a few basic things that help the reader give a shit about the proceedings. First of all, motives are not clear. "I'm broke" is a crummy reason to do what he did. "I'm greedy" is a crummy reason for one military man to kill another. Sometimes, there's just no reason for some of the decisions that are made. I didn't care much about Chris Pine's family, and only a little about his friend. The virus subplot was completely underdone. I was just disappointed in this movie from middle to end.

confusing. it’s a good movie but it almost doesn’t make sense, and why the cliff hanger weird ending?

Starts slow to build the characters, picks up in the middle with action but for some reason it just fell short for me. I found myself fast forwarding scenes near the end just to get to the credits.

Excellent movie, no breathing for beginning to end, just watch it. Reminds me of Jason Bourne.

:heart:x7
This is not great but at least a decent action/thriller. There were a couple of major issues I had with it - 1) why exactly did Rusty send his men to kill Chris Pine's character? 2) did his friend Mike turn on him or was he duped as he said "I thought you were dead" and 3) if [spoiler] Rusty and his men were all killed then [/spoiler] why didn't/couldnt James Harper go home again?

How I rate:
1-3 :heart: = seriously! don't waste your time
4-6 :heart: = you may or may not enjoy this
7-8 :heart: = I expect you will like this too
9-10 :heart: = movies and TV shows I really love!

People are overly critical of this. Pine did a very good job. The script and plot is quite generic, but Foster and Pine are always good together. I liked it. Perhaps in part because the reviews made me expect a 2/10 flick.
6.6 for me.
