Basically, I would have given this movie 1 star but due to the fact that Thandie Newton might actually be the most perfect woman on this planet I had to bump it up a notch or two...
It reminded me of Behind Enemy Lines with that annoying "Americans can do anything" attitude. Evading a stream of bullets from several opposing forces and escaping unscathed....hmmmm "believable".
This movie however, this seemed to be on a more frequent basis and a grander scale. John Cusack and co. tend to have extrapolated any luck from the less fortunate and placed it upon themselves so they can survive any number of over the top scenarios in which death is seen as 100% certain.
I don't understand how people on here can call this entertaining unless you have the IQ of a pencil. It's one of those movies which would make the director a bit of cash only, I don't believe any thought was gone into it and it really was a waste of my time.
Anyway, to summarise Terrible acting, terrible effects (relatively speaking) and an unbelievable chain of luck. It's just plain annoying!!
I love Thandie though
