Pretends to be a Great Movie

Rating: 6/10 (21 January 2019)

21 November 2007. Warning: Spoilers. Splash something different on the screen, an antisocial personality disorder man, throw in some dialogue that purports to sound important, include some manipulated twists and turns and it appears many people classify this movie as great. Unfortunately underneath its dazzling presentation lurks predictability, unbelievable coincidences, outstanding idiotic behavior from characters who should know better. This movie really is like the emperor without any clothes on. The movie appears to be good, but really it more flash than substance. Even the very first scene was predictable and rather dumb where a supposedly ignorant law enforcement officer ends up on the wrong end of the handcuffs. We have a antisocial personality disorder killer who we don't get to see really what he eventually does half the time (it's left up to the imagination of the audience). Does he or doesn't he? He escapes incredulously without killing in one scene just like incredulously this box of money seemingly escapes without a sound. There's supposedly this professional who can protect people who can't protect himself. There's even a out-of-date tracking device that looks like something from the forties (wrong movie, I guess). There's too much taken from granted in this movie. There isn't enough real character development, tense face-offs, resolutions. Very disappointing movie from beginning to end based on the expectations going in. Six out of Ten Stars.
