Come on - this plot has been done before- the summary at the top says it all - yet this film flops hard on its face with delivery. Sorry Karl, better luck next time! In saying that, the cinematography and soundtrack were ok...
A weak storyline, poor script, slow pace and ham acting, make for a less than enjoyable ride. A rehashed idea, done a thousand times and 999 times better! Our lead, Karl Urban, makes Matt Damon seem to have limitless emotional depth. He permanently looks like he is suffering from hard stools - maintaining the same expression throughout. The wardrobe department wasn't too taxed, given he wore the same outfit the whole movie, but for a t-shirt change. Continuity need sacking; cops break our hero's tail light and 20 seconds later it is fully functioning and undamaged again! Make-up is a bit odd, a punch in the nose illicits much blood after a thousandth of a second and one character shot in the final scene bleeds out immediately from the head and body, despite being shot only once. One character dies from a non-lethal wound! The storyline is simple enough. Man accused of something he didn't do goes out to prove otherwise and uncover a thinly-veiled conspiracy. I lost interest so many times, due to the slow pacing and poor script. The movie is lacking in drama and you become disengaged from the plot really easily. In short, it's not good.
I quite liked this movie, just above average. I don't know why so many people had reviewed this film and say that it is a rehash, been done so many times before. Er hello, what film has'nt been done many times before. Even classics like the Big Sleep were done before. Superman....he can fly and can save the world..rehash. Detective or detectives find out who the bad guy is. NCSI. CSI...Sherlock Holmes.
Just because the film did not have a shoot out and car chase every five seconds, does not mean it was a bad film. Or was it because people had to concentrate on the dialogue.
As I said its an ok film.
