Keeps you hooked but the main idea can be iffy

Rating: 8/10 (30 March 2014)

The film itself is a straight-forward narrative with an intense storyline that keeps your attention from the start to the end. Not one minute of the film was I not drawn in. That alone already won a high rating out of me, because that is what a great movie should do.
I can only think of 2 reasons for which critics give low ratings on this film. One is that although it has some cinematography, it isn't as artsy and as loaded in analytic cinematography, which is what many critics look for. The other is the tagline or the mindset of the villain. What the villain says is true, and although Liam eventually does maintain his hero status and saves the passengers, the logic and mindset of the villain are still strong enough to linger in the viewers' head afterwards.
