I did not get this the first... nor for most of the second time as most of the people who view this movie would be. But, once you understand what is happening, it certainly blows you away. The movie does sometimes feel like a snuff film, substance lighting and unclear images.. but i kinda adds to the mystique.

Not for people who wanna lay back and watch a movie. This one wants you to pay attention and discuss it afterwards. So, If you are looking for a movie that asks you questions, wants to second guess the logic and takes you down a rabbit hole that is so convoluted you loss your way.. this one is for you!!!

Everyone one of us has seen a lot of prison break movies. I mean every season there is at least a show on TV or a movie that involves jail breaks that it is kind of difficult to make you sit up and take notice of this genre of late. but, wow!! does not this one make you do that.

Stallone is a jail break artist who breaks out of prisons for his paycheck. He shows prison systems their flaws so that they can make it better. He gets can job to break out of a high security prison for the baddest of bad ass people who people just wanna see disappear. A prison so secret even its location is not disclosed to him, and as all heroes are Stallone agrees (We would not have movies if these have some sense). What follows is action packed, engrossing and just the right of twists that make this one a worth while watch. Not to mention that it also has Schwarzenegger in it!!!

A great movie which more or less as a plot line that is similar to many jail break movies, A lot of stereotypes but is interesting and the performances and the screenplay are great for me to rate this one 9/10. Kudos for making a neat twist to the tried and tested jail break plot.

Don't you we all remember those movies that just start off with all the wonderful promises that we are in for one hell of a ride but we reach the denouement, we are somehow left with the feeling of disappointment and being letdown. This one similar to that.

The story starts with the stunning expose of the Afghanistan war logs that was released by wikileaks. The screenplay is commendable with all the shifting from place to place. The play Julian goes from airport to airport and seems to be all around of the world sometimes is well played out. Benedict Cumberbatch does a very good job as Julian Asange with his white hair and laid back Aussie assent but it does not quite seem natural at times. Daniel Bruhl also carries his role with aplomb. I would rarely fault the cast for that incomplete taste I had in my mind after the movie got more. They did a great job.

The screenplay did seemed a little off color to me. It seemed there were digressing in unfruitful tangents without having any idea why or who is the reason for exploring certain avenues. It seemed it was a bit all over the place. It is all too evident that they tried to get the story from everyone's point of view and all which is great, but it could have been better brought together which would have been this one a more complete movie then it turned out.

Bottom line, it was a movie that started off well, lost its way in the middle and finally ambled to a finish when it had the potential to be so much more.
