Well, I thought this movie started out great, great action sequences, really entertaining...I enjoyed the car flips, curving bullets, etc. I was actually laughing out loud at a bunch of parts (in a good way). I was completely on board with the "unrealistic" stuff. But toward the end it just seemed to kind of drag on and on and we were all ready for it to just end already...

[Show spoiler] I totally saw the twist coming...and when Angelina curves the bullet all the way around the room, and it goes THROUGH like what, 6 people? And the way she curves it in a complete circle in a small room, when all throughout the movie, all of the assassins could just barely curve it around a corner.
I know those seem like small things to nitpick in a fun action movie. Mostly I think it was just the way it dragged on, we all thought it got kind of boring near the end.

I definitely thought it was decent and would absolutely recommend it as a rental, if nothing else just to watch the action scenes and enjoy the sound.

I watched it last night and it wasn't really what I was expecting but I enjoyed it. Some of the action scenes were great and the blu-ray looks and sounds good.
[Show spoiler]I didn't like some of Morgan Freeman's part at the end (speech, imo, was a little too over-the-top and even though I suspected that, it still felt too abrupt and out-of-character)

But it was awesome when he busted a Samuel J style line. That's one of my favorite parts in the movie!

It's a fun, agressive movie that tries to be really trendy. It is extremely entertaining though (and kind of gross)

I just watched it today. I thought it looked and sounded great. Its a popcorn flick...so dont think all that much while watching it. A good way to spend 2 hrs IMO.

2 thumbs up!

Well if its like Shoot Em Up then I will check it out, even though I thought it looked a lot more ridiculous than Shoot Em Up.

Probably will never see it because Jolie is in it. Her being in it, is a good sign that the movie will be terrible.

This movie isn't even a good rental. It's definitely not my cup of tea, but I know some people who might just love this movie.

I for one wish I could just get my time back.

Just got finished watching this movie. I really enjoyed it. The slow-mo Matrix styles shots were pretty kool and the action was really good. Sound was nice, not as good as some other Uni releases, but still really good. This movie is nothing like shoot em up, I hated that movie.

Maybe she's overrated as a celebrity, but she's a great actress. An oscar-winner too, so she knows what's up.
