Just finished watching it and I must say it was surprisingly good! Not the best movie ever of course, but well worth the time to watch. Great action, good insight into the sniper mind, and a pretty decent plot to boot.

And hell, can't say no to any movie with Kate Mara in it, right? images/smilies/drool.gif

I saw this opening weekend in Lost Wages, freaking awesome!

Really?? I thought it pretty much sucked... The plot was naive at best and Danny glovers lisp (sp?) was driving me up the wall.

That was strange! I just saw it and kind of liked it, it's a action film but they do a good job of making you relate to the Good guys and hate the bad guys

I actually said "FUCK YEAH!" When Glover got shot in the throat

The whole sniper thing was a nice change too and gave the shooting scenes something different over all the other "Ex-Military guys kills the bad guys" movies

I thought the movie was very entertaining. The shootings scenes were fantastic. Kate Mara was hot, and so was Rhona Mitra.

Couldn't understand a word he said. But Danny Glover drives me up the wall in whatever movie he's in.

Good movie! and that Kate Mara, and Rhona Mitra...mmmmmmmmmm, yummy images/smilies/biggrin.gif

The_Finn · July 5th, 2007, 12:06 PM

I liked it as well. Sure it's not going to win any Academy Awards but it was still a fun movie. Now i have to go read the book it was based off of. oh and Kate Mara was hot.

TechZ · July 5th, 2007, 05:00 PM

It was a good movie, the ending was especially nice as he didnt go all wussy and let the bad guys live images/smilies/smile.gif

I was very entertained by this movie. Though it's plot is very similar to Most Wanted. Which is just as good IMO.

WARNING: POSSIBLE SPOILERS

I thought it was alright, but far from great. A lot of the pieces were taken right out the Borne Identity. Shoot, Mark Walburg even looks a bit like Matt Damon...

The government conspiracy factor was a bit over-the-top and is it just me, or did they never explain why they wanted to frame him? Perhaps I missed it. In any case, I found the plot to be weak sauce.

A good movie for you if you like seeing lots of explosions and bad guys getting kicked in the face and pummeled by machine guns images/smilies/rolleyes.gif

NAIDANAC A · July 6th, 2007, 04:14 AM

The lisp guy needs to be fired.

epp_b · July 6th, 2007, 06:35 AM

^ That was another bit that was annoying. His acting was pathetic.

They framed him because he made survived the attack in the beginning. He wasn't supposed to survive that. They figured since he survived the first attack they'd take advantage of him and do their dirty work at the same time. 2 birds 1 stone type of thing.

I liked it I mean there were some plot holes here and there but otherwise a good movie worth downloading.

awdrifter · July 9th, 2007, 04:56 AM

Great movie. I do agree that the plot is not very believable, but it doesn't really matter to me. Seeing Swagger basically kicking everyone's ass is pretty cool, and the sniping shots are fantastic. 8/10.
