Original Action Movie

Rating: 8/10 (13 November 2017)

I remember watching this movie at a friends house years ago but having to leave half way through due to another appointment. It stuck with me for months and I needed to watch it again, something drew me to it, it was unusual in so many ways and I just had to find out what was going on.
When I finally watched it I couldn't believe how much I really loved this movie! Honestly it's just a great movie. People can complain about the loop holes or how a lot of things don't make sense but honestly this movie is fantastic. The story is fast paced and keeps you hanging on the edge of your seat. I love the chemistry between Stevens (Jake Gyllenhaal) and Christiana (Michelle Monaghan) but the chemistry between Stevens and Goodwin (Vera Farmiga) is even better even though they are never on screen together. Although these three actors are some of my favourite actors around at the moment, especially Vera Farmiga!.
It's just heart warming how much Stevens cares about Christia, which it something you don't expect from an action movie, you really want him to be successful even though you know his chances are bleak.
If you haven't seen this movie and love action movies watch this instead of wasting your time on like a fast & furious movie! You won't regret it I promise!
8/10
