Don't come to this movie for deep, twisting plot lines or complex character arcs. Sure, it has some loose ends and potential plot holes in places. It also has Aidan Gillen of Game of Thrones fame who, like in that series, has an interestingly variable accent that moves between Irish and American. It also has cliches a plenty.
All of that negative aside, it's actually a good, solid action movie. The kind of Cliffhanger / Die Hard style of goodies against baddies, keeping you on edge, kind of movie. Trust me, I don't sit through movies unless they're sufficiently intense or fast paced enough, and this movie definitely has it. There are many scenes and situations that kept me intently focused, praying for the goodies to win. And, who knows who will survive. It's that kind of movie which, while it has some clichés, still has enough depth and good plot development to keep you guessing. Who will survive? What will kill her/him? What would I do in that situation?
Definitely worth getting stuck into!
