With the staggering impact of the opening scene I was hooked from the very first moment. I kept thinking it would be something like Taken and Gone Baby Gone or even better. It was at par with those movies for most part of the show but the ending killed it.
I think the idea of the bad guy/good guy got a little mixed up so in the end you don't know which is which and I can bet my bottom dollar that you'll root for the wrong one.
Jamie Foxx has yet to impress me with any of his movies and this one still doesn't cut it. Gerard Butler, however, is a wonderful actor who can easily slip into the shoes of a warrior, a lover and a Broadway singer.
There are many surprises in this movie which you may or may not like, and even a sudden twist that became a horror movie for a bit. Though the script wasn't as well written as some other thrillers it was good enough to enjoy the pace, which is, like I said earlier, until the end. It's just not plausible, not when the entire movie is based on wits. Someone should have seen that coming from a mile away.
7/10
