    Actually not that bad
    I wasn't expecting much based on the very bad reviews but as I love Russel Crowe's acting I decided to give it a try on a rainy spring day. I watched it till the end and it wasn't that bad. Sure, storyline execution somewhat unhinged and disjointed. Not sure if that can be blamed on Crowe who directed it or on just bad advice from the editor. The set is cool, lighting is nice. Some scenes very unnecessary and unclear but all in all, I didn't mind this film. The story itself was very original. Crowe's voiceover is beautiful. The message is cool. It could have been quite a great film if it didn't get so lost in translation......

    Perfectly good movie
    Absolutely nothing wrong with this movie. Enjoyed it from A-to-Z.. Creative plot. Realistic action scenes and a little bit of humor. I don't understand why the rating is so low. Good job. We really enjoyed it! Nice actors. Good video shots. Nice build up of the story especially as we are talking about an action movie. The storyline is complete regarding the story, built up and twists. Not that weird kind of plots that are annoying. Nice ending. For us the movie had all we needed this Sunday evening. Good job. As said I don't understand why the rating is so low. Feels like people are just extra critical cause it is directed bij Russel Crow.
