Classified

The plot (if you actually consider it such) has holes big enough to sail an oil tanker through. A top notch hitman goes off course and is not in the slightest interested how his boss can call him on a payphone next to him?

The action sequences are numerous, but absolutely unrealistic. Bad guys with machine guns can't hit stationary targets, but the good guy is able to use a shotgun like a sniper rifle?

I have seen better character development in B class porn flicks. How they got Eckart and Roth to participate in such drivel is beyond me.

If i could give this movie a minus score i would gladly do so.

I think this is the worst movie I've ever seen, honestly that bad. Everything's bad, the script, characters, fight scenes, never ending shoot scenes... the bad guy with an awful haircut talking like a machine (it could be for all I know).

Aaron Eckhart used to be a great actor but now got stuck in useless action b-movies, not sure what he can do about it anymore. Abigail Breslin is unrecognisable and totally miscast (MI6 agent speaking with an American accent and no one questioning it among many other flaws as a character).

Save yourself and skip this one.

Tim Roth, I hope you've been well compensated.

Aaron Eckhart is generally a pretty great actor, and Tim Roth used to have some amazing roles in films, but Classified has really let them both down. The script and dialog sound like it was written by a 14 year old film student, and the acting from every other cast member other than the aforementioned actors is appalling. Abigail Breslin and Brandon Lessard let this film down no end. The acting from Brandon Lessard is especially poor, and the story line that follows his character is non existent.

The only redeeming feature is the cinematography is fairly good, and its great they shot so much of it on location in Malta.

The worst screen writing and acting I've seen in at least the past 20 years. Not worth the time to press the play button. Just terrible terrible, terrible, terrible! And it's ridiculous that it requires me to write a minimum of 600 words for this review to even be accepted - but if you must... I love Actor Eckart but even he must have been embarrassed by day 3 of production on the horrible writing and lack of quality plot! The fighting was totally unrealistic, but the plot was even worse - disconnected, confusing and illogical. The movie seemed to be in slow motion and overdramatizing every single screen.

Yeah, nope!

One of the dullest "action thrillers" I've seen in recent memory. One that is easy to follow.. but maybe too easy! With a strange and lethargic pacing that makes the first 20 minutes feel like an hour! A dull and lackluster execution, and a storyline that hardly goes anywhere. It's so underwritten it almost feels like a mystery!! As that expected layer of depth or a message is strangely missing. This is a Saban film through and through! With their level of 'effort' being all too present. It's as if the film was made on autopilot, coasting on bland tropes to fill in the space. If the sluggish pace doesn't lull you to sleep, the slow, melodic music just might. The action scenes could be skipped completely, as they don't help move the story forward.. much less keep your attention on the screen. Even worse, you could watch this on mute, and take away as much as I did trying to pay attention.

Don't even think about it.. it's not worth your time.
