El mensajero

Trailers are very deceptive, I thought this looked a decent thriller but it turned out to be a low budget dud. I'm a fan of Gary Oldman his last two films have been low budget, whats happened to his career ? Oscar winner to this dross. Olga Kurylenko carries this film to a certain degree as a female John McLean. Watch this after a few pints if you're lucky you will forget it next day.

Terrible editing, Horrible soundtrack, cardboard characters. The whole movie feels like we are following a film crew around while the actors rehearse their lines. Gary Oldman will apparently take any job he can get. He does wear an eye-patch though...good call by the wardrobe department; they really earned their keep.

Bad acting, bad dialogue, stupid action scenes. It's definitely 4 of 10. A lot of irrelevant drama.

I felt like I was doing my own MST3K commentary during the whole film.

I have no idea how they persuaded Olga Kurylenko and Gary Oldman to star in such a waste of time. Interminable motorcycle shots with wrong engine sounds, like someone who's never heard a motorcycle in their life was responsible for the sound effects. Fighting scenes are from the 80's movies and there's a bunch of scenes with (really useless and misplaced) gore. Boring all the way to Mars, don't waste your life watching it. I gave it a two instead of a one because of Kurylenko and Oldman, although i can't imagine why they did it.
