i have to agree with all the negative reviews

Rating: 5/10 (20 October 2012)

once again critics have reviewed the director and not the film very much like Blink this is so overrated. funnily enough his middle film Brothers Bloom was better than this and Blink and yet it was ignored. Very little happens apart from Both Joes killing people, the time travel is utter nonsense, to make the film work older Joe has to come back twice, and get this instead of being killed the first time so that he gets the money and goes to china, he escapes the first time, then ten minutes later for no reason the scene is repeated and this time he get killed, then we go back to young joe out to get and kill old joe. then halfway through we go into another plot the shooting stops for a while and the film tries to get deep and serious. full or pretension and utterly boring.
