I was so excited to see this movie because I really like the actors. After watching the movie's trailer, I was not sure what the movie was about. After watching the movie, I still don't know what it was about. The story was lacking, the movie characters were wierd, the dialogue often confusing and non-sensical, and the acting was the ONLY redeeming factor. Joaquin Phoenix's acting was spellbinding, but I would not recommend this movie..
Pros great actors
Cons too complex, double talk dialogue
No, I do not recommend this movie.

I enjoyed the movie, but kept expecting some direct link up with the Bourne character, which never happened other than the one line that appears in the trailer about Jason Bourne being sited in New York.
The story line of genetically altered agents was a great idea! However, the story line appeared secondary to a string of localities with had no apparent significance to the plot and lots of run-on chase scenes that made it difficult to even care what the end result of the chase would be.
One plus was the acting. I enjoyed the dynamic between the two main characters, actors Jeremy Renner and Rachel Weisz.
All in all, I thought it wasn't a BAD movie, but it could have been much better.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Three Stooges

Loved the movie. I didn't think they could pull off an updated version of the Three Stooges. I was really skeptical and was afraid that I would find it stupid and wouldn't laugh, but laugh I did, along with the rest of the audience. Great movie. Great job of actors emulating that Stooges Magic!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

I was so excited to see this movie after seeing its good reviews from the critics. After having seen it, all I can say is ARE YOU KIDDING? 3 stars? That was the slowest movie I've seen in a long time. If I see one more close up of an actionless, emotionless view of the main character I'm going to scream! Don't waste your money. It's boring, bloody, vicious and pointless!
No, I do not recommend this movie.

This movie was rediculous from the very beginning to the very end. The character that Zoe Saldana played was not believable at all. They tried to make her "super human" with cat-like reflexes and the ability to track and kil her prey with little to no effort. Come on.......the idea was an interesting one, but they took it too far. This could have been a good movie, but hollywood had to exagerate and make it totally unbelievable!
No, I do not recommend this movie.

Good story premise, but did they REALLY need to have such disgusting and sophomoric humor? My husband and I almost left after the first 1/2 hour, but the plot picked up and the distasteful humor subsided a BIT. I'm surprised these well-known actors would agree to stoop to this level of humor. wonder if their target audience was 12 - 18 year olds who will laugh at anything as long as the humor includes sex, profanity or offensive topics.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

My husband and I both enjoyed this movie!! Russell Crowe's acting was great, as was also the case with the actress that played his wife who is wrongfully conficted of murder! It was really enjoyable and kept my interest even though the movie's running time was lengthy. Excellent entertainment without alot of sex, swearing or violence............Finally
Yes, I recommend this movie.

My husband and I really enjoyed this movie. It had a similar plot as "It's a Wonderful Life" but with a twist of spirituality!
WHO SAYS YOU CAN'T MAKE A GOOD MOVIE without sex, violence and foul language??? This film was a VERY pleasant surprise with a good plot, great acting and a heart warming message! Loved it!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

My husband and I were REALLY disappointed. I'm a BIG Clooney fan but this was a REAL sleeper! It could have been considered a "silent movie" because there was very little dialogue and no background music. It was really slow. The best parts of the movie were just the first and last 5 minutes of the show. My husband literally fell asleep three times during the show and I had to wake him. ha ha Don't waste your time or money!
No, I do not recommend this movie.
