A big block buster of a chase movie

Rating: 6/10 (23 March 2012)

6/10. Like an episode of Bear Grills meets the running man, I have mixed feelings about this one. Whilst it undoubtedly has its moments I cannot overlook some of the more annoying aspects of the film. Specifically the jerky camera thing, I assume this is some kind of "technique", if that technique is to make its viewers feel sick then bravo! It worked. Woody Harrelson has a great knock about role, but I wasn't sure what his motivation was, he seemed to swing from useless drunk to ruthless realist, I didn't get it. The ridiculous female character who picked the names, what was that all about? What was her role? Too many questions, not enough time, even in 2+ hours. Anyway, despite the daftness of the plot and the lack of charm or warmth from most of the actors I still quite enjoyed it - after all I do like Bear Grills and The Running Man, so there you go.
