Disappointing

Rating: 2/10 (18 October 2013)

Just because Hugh Jackman is in a film, doesn't mean it is automatically going to be good. Hugh has a far broader acting range than this film allows him to use, and he was really just an angry dad, nothing more, and nothing less. I don't think he will be winning any awards from this film, not because of his acting, but because it just doesn't showcase his abilities.
Overall, the film was highly predictable, and totally oversold by the trailer. It was 2 1/2 hours long, and despite moments of anticipation, was predominately slow moving and boring. The plot was loose at best, and filled with gaps, leaving you wondering about why some of the characters were even in the film. And then there is the ending. Well. Talk about leaving it hanging. If this was meant to be a thriller, it was sadly left short. I have seen better thrillers 20 years ago, that were far more engaging, thrilling, and shocking. SEVEN for example.
I should have gone and seen Gravity 3D or Rush instead.
