my notes

Rating: 5/10 (26 June 2019)

Intriguing mysterious spy story with some cool and innovative, well-directed scenes. But there was a lot of really dumb stuff, questionable parts and impossible action sequences. definitely had a bunch of old movie qualities. (1 viewing)

the way the helicopter driver, after succeeding in picking up his partner, decided to try to kill Tom cruise instead of leaving and winning was absurd. not to mention he tried to do it by using the helicopter blades to kill his face without touching the train. not to mention this helicopter is successfully flying through a tiny tunnel while it's attached to the train the seems to be going 100mph. the twist was SO obvious, altho I was surprised Jean Reno was in on it. expected Jim and his wife. for a CIA computer that was so heavily secured with layers of methods to detect if anyone was in the room when they shouldn't be, I think it would've been a little smarter if they had a detection of the computer being used when no one was in the room
