Been seeing some trailers for this. Looks like a half decent popcorn movie to me.

Looks like a carbon copy of Bourne to me, the only difference being an attractive female lead making it impossible to take seriously.

Saw this last night, was a really good Saturday night popcorn movie.. Definite similarities to Bourne, but the fight scenes were just as good and bolstered by a formidable supporting cast (Fassbender in another film!!). Gina Carano is hot and tough looking, although not sure how versatile her acting skills are!

The film felt quite short though and the score was, well quirky, but a solid 7.5/10 for me.

(No suprise that the shiny blue Evo parked outside the diner was going to have a starring role wink)

Saw this last night, felt a bit flat to be honest. Nowhere near as good as Bourne, th only decent thing is that she is smoking hot.

I saw this last night. Really disppointed.. Ewan McGregor was weak, Gina Carano was pretty good but too aware of herself (although she does a good lip bite lol) and the end was rubbish.

4/10

+1. Don't bother.

Tosh acting and fight scenes. I need to learn that just because its got some (normally) good actors, doesn't make it a good film!

I really enjoyed it. Sure, it had Bourne DNA there, but the fight scenes were MUCH better than the stupid shaky/rapid change cameras used in Bourne.

Given that it's Gina's first staring role, I don't think she was too bad, considering she was supposed to be a pretty detached operator.
