Wait for the DVD

Rating: 4/10 (19 February 2011)

The movie has a promising beginning, a mysterious middle, and a let-down of an ending. I wanted to enjoy the movie, and I wasn't trying to poke holes in the plot, but here are the questions that popped into my head as I was watching: 1: If the guys trying to "take out" Dr. Martin were highly skilled assassins, why then were they killing nurses and taxi drivers unnecessarily like common thugs? 2: How did Jurgen figure out that Frank Langella's character was coming to kill him? Also, how did Jurgen figure out the twist with the briefcase? 3: Why was this group hired to steal a formula for hybrid corn? If it was simply because the people who hired them wanted to profit off of the formula, it seems that it could have been done in a much less elaborate fashion (but then why make a movie, I suppose). 4: Since when is "sudden acquisition of morals" a side-effect of major head trauma? 5: Why does trained assassin Frank Langella run and hide in a van until he ultimately falls to his death? I have many more questions as to why the writers/director/producers decided that this story was ready for public consumption, but then again, maybe I'm just being too cynical.
