OK. First, lets get this out of the way cause I don't want to hear it... YES, its a ridiculous premise. I know that, you know that, the world knows that, and the people who made the movie know that. Now that thats out of the way, it actually was very entertaining. Only huge problem, and I almost want to say I even docked it a star for it, was... it took FOREVER to get started. Seriously, you expect movies to start out slow in the beginning, but for some reason this movie moved at like, twice the slowness of a normal movie, and that did get very irritating. There was also a rather large jolt in the timeline I felt could've easily been avoided, but still, it was pretty solid story and action once you got through the beginning. The actor who played Lincoln, whose name I sadly don't know, actually turned in a solid performance. And, as with EVERY movie I see him in, Dominic Cooper once again redefined the fact that he's much more than just a solid actor. I do have some minor quibbles with the story, such as Alan Tudyk's character being completely pointless, (but I LOVE Tudyk so that was like a win lose for me) but it was pretty solid entertainment. Hope to see more, hopefully a little better done stuff from this director.
