I couldn't find a topic about this and I wasn't going to post in Septim's plot description thread in the reader review area.

Saw this last night. I actually enjoyed the first 90 minutes or so. Some cliched and predictable stuff but fun none the less. The last 40 minutes or so are just standard action movie fare where the story seems to get thrown out. I predicted the use of the dog. I knew right from the get go the dog would come into play. Good times. The use of Robert Patrick seemed unnecessary since his sub-plot just seemed to get tossed aside. Plus in the end he didn't seem like that bad of a guy anyways.

And I love seeing an angry Harrison Ford. I don't know why but he plays a great angry person. The twitching after his fight with Paul Bettany's character was great.

Not great but compared to Ford's recent string of films it ranks near the top.

This is one of the movies that I have on my DVR right now but I swear I only put it there because it was recent. "Wow, a movie from just a year ago that I really have no interest in seeing. Now I can see it!" Cable is odd that way.

This has always had "library rental" written all over it.

Not bad. Ford cracked me up when looks at Chloe from "24" and says, "Pack your shit and leave!"

Better than most of Ford's recent offerings.

That was scene where I said to myself, "I love angry Harrison Ford."

What a horribly dull movie. Paul Bettany spends so much time researching Ford and his family yet he hires the least threatening array of goons I've ever seen in a major motion picture. They all looked like they should have been modeling chinos in a J. Crew catalog.

I'm too lazy to look it up, but who is Paul Bettany married to?

Hilarious.

Anyhow the movie is 8 ways to sunday dull. Bettany is wasted and Molt is right that crew is pathetic.

I mean shit Antoine Fuqua's Bait had a better villain.
