Some thoughts...

Rating: 5/10 (11 June 2013)

I'll refrain from summarizing the entire film because you've either already seen it or you're interested in watching the story. Instead I'll just share some thoughts I had with you.
It definitely felt like a step down from most of his films. There wasn't anything revolutionary about the film. The beginning seemed to lag for a good while. It eventually picked up steam during the heist portion of the movie, but that in itself didn't really seem to have anything new to add to that genre. The were some really nice long shots in the film (I'm a huge fan of artistically staged lengthy takes), the car pulling into the empty lot on the other side of the fence is a good example. I will say tho, that there were some long shots that seemed to be stretched out for no apparent reason other than just to do it.
The acting was solid. The characters were a mix. Jackie was stuck in a dead end job for somewhere around twenty years and yet she proved to be quite the master mind by the end of the movie. Kind of makes you wonder why she wasn't able to advance in her career. Jackson's character was well played and was indeed intriguing, but after a while I kind of wished he would leave me alone.
It's not a bad movie, but not one I would recommend to someone else. These are just my thoughts on this particular project. If you're interested in the film I'd urge you to see it and make your own.
