Fantastic!

Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

This is a really bad movie. One of the worst I've seen from 2016.Both Hopkins and Kingsley are terribly out-of-place here, albeit we are starting to see more of this "selling-out" from both of them. Kingsley's character, in particular, is the worst character in terms of concept and writing that may have ever graced the screen with an Oscar in his pocket. It's cringe-worthy.Hopkins character isn't much better.Some of the action scenes have some decent CGI and some passable real-action as well, that makes them look pretty good, but that might be the nicest thing I can say about this film. The lead(nic hault) is utterly forgettable, as is the story. The film attempts to throw in some humor, one can only imagine to lighten the mood, and that mood is "this movie stinks". Someday when you see a posthumous collage at the Academy Awards for these two actors - you WILL NOT see clips of this film.I yearn to see "Baby Driver" this week so I can see what this genre/storyline should look and sound like. Please pass. I rushed this back to the redbox as fast as humanly possible.

OMG! This is THE most under-rated, under-marketed movie ever! 2 old guys with blockbuster flawless convincing performances (thank you Sirs) + a fabulous, sexy, exhilarating performance by the soon to be "A-list" youngsters, and I NEVER HEARD A WORD ABOUT THIS MOVIE UNTIL I WATCHED IT! SHAME! WATCH!!! Think about what you would be willing to do for love while you watch this, and how many times it might all become nevermore! Thrilling! I would have rated this as a 10 if it had been marketed and put out there in mass media! Shame!!! All of the negative reviews seem to be from those who are enthralled by names, not substance, and missed the point of the reality for these characters. Woo hoo, "autobahn, Hopkins, Kingsley," but stopped at the name, and did not see the depth and the substance. Listen, don't watch, or at least don't review movies if characters who risk everything don't move you! Seriously, you feckless putz, what have you ever risked for anything?!? Yeah, right, I thought so!!!

"I need $200,000. You can have the rest. I just need you yo do something for me." Casey Stein (Hoult) has gotten mixed up in a drug smuggling ring and his girlfriend has been taken. Now he is stuck between kingpins Hagen (Hopkins) and Geran (Kingsley) with only one option. Steal from one and ask for help from the other. Casey is now left to wonder if he chose wisely. This is a pretty intense and exciting movie but at the same time really toes the line between generic and original. There is enough in here to make it seem fresh and new and keeps you interested, while at the same time being just predictable enough for you to stay one step ahead of the movie. Normally that's a bad thing, but when it comes to these B action movies excitement is the goal. This one does have that. Overall, nothing all that original or fresh but it is fun to watch and a good way to spend a few hours. I give this a solid B.

It's one of those films with aimless narration. Indeed, it has a nice cast and characters with the basic storyline, but that did not expand and explored well as it should have been. At least the pace of the narration looked fine. Some characters looked unnecessary, and so a couple of scenes. If these all were managed, then still it could have been a decent film. Because since it is an action- adventure, they did not generate those crucial parts like the stunts and dialogues related to the gangster thing to turn it a better film in its kind.The two veteran actors coming together for the first time added more curiosity than flavour we are looking for. They did okay and so the rest of the cast. Ideal runtime, a few stuffs were in the favour of the film, but those were not enough for the overall success. If the same film was made from the non-English world like perhaps Germany, which was one of the producers of the film would have done better than this existing one which is very familiar with this language.People would watch it only for Hopkins and Kingley and so did am I. But they might end in disappointment, or that could be the reason to rate it fairly better. Whatever, this is an okay film, which is barely entertaining and of all, not a boring film. So trying it for one is okay, but I think not worth if you have got plenty of options over this one.6/10
