My Review- 

This movie could have been a little better, even though some parts are really good, other parts drag on or do not fullfill expectations. Some of the acting is really good while others were just predictable or seemed flat. One thing that worked well for this movie was the actions scenes; such as car chases, shoot-outs and hand to hand fight scenes. Since this movie is kind of predictable at times it ruins it at times while other times you do not see certain things coming; they did a good job of trying to show who was bad and who wasn't and when it was finally revealed it was sort of shocking but not at the same time. Some actors were really good in this movie even though they had sort of a small part, and it sucks because since Reynolds and Washington are the main characters they did not to all that well only parts of the movie they did really well. My favorite character in the movie was Joel Kinnaman's even though he was bad I still liked his small part in the movie. I thought the execution of the movie could have been a lot better as well, since some scenes were like "come on really?" I did however like the ending of the movie since the whole thing was based on some file it was shown how the file was used at the end. The trailer and everything about the movie is very misleading from what it is actually about and it was both a good thing and a bad thing by whoever promoted this movie, since I went to this movie thinking something entirely differently from what the movie really was and that kind of sucked for me. I you can watch this movie if you; if your a fan of the actors in the movie than I would say watch it or if you like movies with some twists then watch it as well other than that I would say skip it.
