Like clever thrillers? Keep looking.

Rating: 2/10 (25 August 2011)

I'll admit that I didn't expect this to be my favorite movie to begin with, but I did expect to be somewhat entertained throughout the movie. The first word that comes to mind is «pointless». The action sequences are predictable, the script is flat, and the acting is uninspiring, which is sad considering that I really like Diane Krueger and find Liam Neeson to be solid.
I won't make you read a novel here, so I'll just sum it up real' quick:
Man gets in an accident and is struggling to make sense of who he is. This goes on for such a long time that I just stopped caring and thought: just get to the ending already. And yes, you guessed it, a couple of «mysterious» men are chasing him for an unknown reason, which leads to the inevitable getaway chase and action scenes you've seen a million times. And the average female cab driver turns out to be a natural killing ninja, pro fighter and an expert on high speed car getaways. 'Cause you know, why wouldn't she be. And to top it off, the ending is random with no previous clues to go on.
I'm sure a lot of people will like this movie, but if you like your thrillers to be clever and mysterious, I'd recommend another movie. The only thing I will remember from this movie a month from now is that I thought it was a waste of time.
