Pretty Good

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

Before watching a movie I always see who is in it and that usually weighs heavily on my decision to watch it or not. I'm a fan of Sean Faris and his acting in the movie is the only reason I gave the movie such a high rating - I can honestly saw this movie should have gotten a 1.After watching it I feel like it's a pathetic attempt to remake the 2009 movie Gamer starring Gerard Butler - which wasn't a great movie but far better than this.There are so many awful things about this movie I don't know where to star. Well, first of all, I really disliked Chelsea. Why you ask? Because the movie basically revolved around this 'beautiful' character that has virtually no personality and who we really no nothing about. In fact we don't really get to know any of the characters except the surface of Ryan.Maybe this type of movie just isn't my thing but it felt so flat and lifeless even with all the action. The concept of the movie was OK but the dialogue between the characters and their lack of personalities was pitiful.

I can't believe the reviews here. Some of them have obviously never seen a truly bad film in their lives (based on their reviews giving this a 1), and others don't seem capable of recognizing a bad film (based on their reviews giving this a 9 or 10).Random thoughts: * Sean is nice to look at -- sort of Tom Cruise, without the baggage (yet). You could do a lot worse for 90 minutes.* Not knowing what the film is about makes the twist halfway through kind of interesting. (But it would have been good enough without the twist).* The wrist devices are ridiculous. Either they transmit speech, or they don't. But in this film, they transmit speech AND they don't. Depending on what the plot needs.* Too much hand-held camera. Most of the action is supposed to be recorded by cameras affixed to the sides of buildings. Not shaky. And I really don't want hand-held cam in the bedroom.* In summary, I'd place it among some of the more ridiculous Bond films. The entertainment level stays high throughout, even when you know the filmmakers have simply given up trying to make sense.

So I am going to regret saying this. But even Uwe Boll is making better movies. Blasphemy! I know. I did say I was going to regret saying that. When watching the movie I was not really expecting much.But this being about free running I was expecting some decent stunts. If there was some free running involved I barely could make out what was happening because one of the gimmicks was the use of a shaky cam. Whose brilliant idea was that. People not knowing anything about free running must get the wrong impression about this extreme sports. As not single shot shows what free running really is. To top it of they mix in a Battle Royale game and Danny Dyer overacting like he never did before. Seriously I did give this movie a chance. But everything about it is just plain horrible.Avoid!

These reviews are awesome, almost as entertaining as the movie! And you know what - they're right! This movie blows!! Me away!! You have to see it to believe it and I'm telling you, you won't be sorry. It's so entertaining even if it's not intentional. It's everything the cruddy reviews say and more and I love it!! I want to host my my own Mystery Science Theater 3000 in my backyard with this movie, and have people shout out the ridiculous dialogue not to mention the psychotic accents from where is the lead girl from!!!?? Russia? Israel? Borneo?? So these explosive collars by the way, where did they get these at PetCo? And the explosions and the Texan rich dude with the George W. accent "their heads look like exploding watermelons". Or when the blonde flashes her ta-tas at the soon to be dead freerunners: "these are the last ones you'll ever see" and the nerd freerunner goes: "and the first!" Come on people that's so bad it's good. And the action is pretty non-stop after the snooze fest but still hilarious opening. And the freerunning is, well it's not good, but then it sort of is, but filmed horribly! These guys tried to make 2 million dollars look like 100 million and they made it look like 2 dollars. Still, I don't care - I seriously love this movie!! 8 stars. What can I say, I was pretty drunk when I saw this, maybe that helped.
