Transparent plot in another Ryan Reynolds action vehicle, with a noteworthy surrounding cast. I just can't get over how bland and feeble Reynolds repeatedly comes across in movie after movie.
Denzel is good as always, Brendan did a good job too. Vera Farmiga's role was so insignificant that they could have removed it all together.
Shaky cam is shaking a lot, people are being shot and/or attacked "by surprise" so many times it's not even funny. Are we supposed to believe that these safe house keepers honestly sit on their ass all day and do nothing but stare into the wall? Oh wait, he bounced a ball too.
Overall I enjoyed it, and like many already said; Decent pretty much sums it up.
Offers nothing in terms of originality, there are no surprises and I probably won't remember a single thing about this film in a few months time.
Having said that, it had a strong cast and t'was entertaining. It's the sort of movie to watch on a hangover where you can put your brain on autopilot and veg out.

Better than expected. The plot is a bit unoriginal, but I did like Ryan Reynolds and Denzel Washington in this.Earring72
Ok action, but predictable and weak story. Denzel was also underused. Entertaining but strictly by the numbersJoachim
Somewhat entertaining, but really unoriginal.A movie you watch together with your buddies.

This is the definition of a 6/10. Generic but not completely unintelligent, just lacking effort.vahabov
5.5/10Something that you might watch if there is nothing to watch.

Predictable but fun. Interesting outcome, given the news lately (June 2013).mrjellow
"Tight" movie that will entertain you.Cuadie
Very unrealistic and predictable. Didn't like it. 6/10Musanna
The awards season has pretty much wrapped up - saw some spectacular indie, arthouse, and Oscar-bait pictures in the time.Because of this, I enjoyed this film. It felt good to be thrilled by a brainless popcorn flick after what had felt to have been too long.

Please kill the operator with a tremor! I do not want to go to his movies, especially in the cinema.Showing items 1 – 15 of 17
