Despite the criticism, my friend and I went to see this movie yesterday since of the 30 movies at the theatre we patronize, this seemed the most appealing. We had that particular showing almost to ourselves; therefore, we were able to laugh out loud and make comments. The movie was good, plausible (given the Bernie Madoff and similar scams in recent years), funny, tragic, and starred/co-starred a lot of great people, some from my past.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Really Odd Action Film

I am an action junkie. I love science fiction. I like the OLD cowboy flicks. This movie was a perfect blend for me, a really, really odd action film. I loved it. So did my nine- and 14-year-old great niece and nephew who accompanied me.I had given them a synopsis beforehand so that they would be able to follow the story. Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford, and Olivia Wilde were really good, as were the moral(s) of the story.
I absolutely loved this movie. It had a powerful message, an absence of profanity (thank God!), and perfect actors/actresses for each part. I smiled; I laughed; I got angry (at the NCAA interviewer); I shed a few tears. I have recommended this movie to a number of people, including my five sisters, two of whom rarely go to the movies. All in all it was most refreshing. How great it was to see a movie about the special people and beautiful stories that are out there for a change. Maybe the success of this movie will demonstrate to movie makers that good, bright, beautiful, intelligent, etc. sells as well as violent, bad, dark, profane. . . maybe even better. Thanks.
