Disappointing

Rating: 5/10 (30 March 2015)

This was disappointing. Tom Cruise plays an ex-army investigator who gets embroiled in a conspiracy surrounding the apparently random shooting of five people.
Tom Cruise plays his part just fine. But the other characters are below par. Rosamund Pike is dull as the attorney that Cruise ends up working with. The man under suspicion of murder spends 90% of the film in a coma. And the most promising character, The Zec, the leader of the conspirators, barely gets a chance to make a mark, barring a gruesome scene dispatching of an errant foot soldier under a bridge.
The plot twist becomes obvious early so it's not really a detective movie. Instead it steadily turns into a straightforward action hero flick, culminating in a gun/hand to hand combat climax.
It was just about watchable but it wasn't great.
