I saw this trailer and must admist I'm interested. I like John Cusack, and Malin Ackerman is just plain HOT!!

Added this to the Netflix queue, I hope they get the BD.

Is this movie any good, Direct TV is advertising the crap out of it

Amen

F.Y.I., this film comes out in theaters on April 26.

sancho · 03-22-2013, 04:25 PM

I agree. Malin Akerman is hot.

Anyone picked this up yet? My pre-order's about to ship from Amazon.

As a big Cusack fan I'm keen to see this. The review looks good and the disc looks great from the screenshots. Can't wait for this one to arrive.

It's not available until tomorrow, unless somebody got it early today from Amazon.

I do plan on renting this. In a slower month, I might have given it a blind buy. Seems like it will be solid and I may end up buying it later on down the road. The cast alone had me interested.

Just got the one I ordered off Amazon delivered, for those of you who are crazy for slips it does have one.

gettodamoofies · 05-28-2013, 08:32 PM

^ Nice! I think I'll end up liking this one quite a bit and sub-$15 for a new release with a slipcover is a good deal.

gettodamoofies · 06-13-2013, 11:55 AM

Got my copy of the film from Amazon yesterday. Slip looks great in person.

Checked out the film today. I really enjoyed it. The fact that it was a bit more character oriented helped make the film a little more original than your standard good guys trying to hold off the bad guys scenario. Both Cusack and Akerman did well and I enjoyed their character interactions.

Aside from a few soft shots (the opening sequence with Cusack in the car has the lion share of them and I presume they're source related) and banding in about 2 shots that I saw the picture quality was excellent. Considering the dark settings of the film the detail level was quite high and it was handled extremely well. The audio was most definitely the more impressive aspect of the disc. For a lower-budgeted film the mix was very well done. Aggressive, precise and well prioritised.

Well worth a look if you're a fan of Cusack or of espionage thrillers.

Rinzler · 06-26-2013, 05:05 PM

This looks really good to me, I need to watch it soon. I love Malin Akerman so I'm pretty sure I'll like it regardless.

dyne · 06-26-2013, 08:08 PM

I got this last week. I agree with the sentiment that it's more character driven. Wasn't quite what I was expecting at all in a good way.

Cusack does really well in roles like this.

Scottie · 07-18-2013, 01:43 AM

This movie was terrible. I couldn't even put up with all of it.

I had to shut it off 1/2 way through.

philip74 · 11-22-2013, 08:37 PM

Is anybody else having problems playing this disc? I have 1200 blurays and never had a problem playing a disc, but this one stops completely after the first two forced trailers.

I am able to play the Dark Man and Day Of The Falcon trailers but then the discs gets stuck in the loading process. I have a Pioneer BDP-320 with the lastest
firmware update 3.74.

The player makes strange noised while trying to load the main menu, but there is no visible damage to the disc itself. The player gets completely stuck to a point where I have to unplug it from the electricity. I gave up after 5 attempts, same thing happens every time.

I have never encountered a "bad disc" but there is just no way I can get this one to play!

gettodamoofies · 11-22-2013, 09:09 PM

^ Mine plays fine on all three Blu-ray players I own - different brands, none Pioneer though.

philip74 · 11-22-2013, 10:49 PM

I hope its not a faulty disc, never had that happen before

Its like this movie is cursed for me; first my Amazon shipment is lost,
then the replacement arrived without the slipsleeve and now
the disc doesn't play

might be a sign

Good thing you're not missing out on much.

casspir · 01-28-2014, 10:27 PM

Does anyone have a PQ comparison on the different releases of this title? How does the picture quality of the UK or German release compare to that of the US release?
Does anyone here own the UK and/or the German release(s)?

Any comparison would be appreciated.

kemcha · 03-29-2014, 07:44 PM

Just watched this film and I have to say that while John Cusak is a great actor and Malin Akerman is a hot actress, this movie wasn't all that great. Cusak seems to be distant in the film, like his character doesn't care about anything. At least I can still enjoy him in such great film classics as Serendipity, 2012, Runaway Jury and Better Off Dead.
