From my favorite movies..

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

The shaky hand camera has a reached a new level of annoying in this film. I seriously thought it might cause me to have a seizure. The level of plot believability is somewhere between unrealistic and LOL. There are a couple of scenes where the Del Banco character is talking to the "top US bank CEO's". If i could provide a link them you would see everything you need to know about how bad this movie is. To say the dialogue is laughable would be an understatement. There is nothing about this film that i have anything positive to say.

After trawling through a splurge of "awful" "didn't finish it" "they ate my brain" reviews.. i was wondering if i wasn't "on a different moral compass" but possibly in a different mindset.. I thought (and this is why i bothered looking) somebody might have speculated on a little suggestion. Perhaps the film wasn't great so my thinking picked upon character representation.. wouldn't get to deep here.. but sometimes it seemed as though the reasons for these obscure character traits were on a deeper level with characters representing the government, federal reserve, the public... the choppy sea as the big scary world etcetera..... Might have made/maybe was a wonderful novel but the Hardyesque qualities have been lost in Hollywoods vision... (because that never happens)

I don't spend a lot of time reviewing movies, but when I looked this movie up on IMDb and saw a few 'great reviews' I figured those folks were getting paid, so I wanted to add my thoughts.My theory is that they made the camera work so bad (the camera is constantly shaking and zooming in and out) the viewer wouldn't notice the terrible character development and lack of plot. Seriously, if you have ever tried to take a photo with a camera while the the zoom/focus constantly is going in and out, then you will have a preview of what it is like trying to watch this piece of junk. Did they give an I-phone to a 2 year old to do the camera work? As far as the plot, totally predictable and weak as water, and I felt no no connection to the characters.Bottom line: if you were wanting to present a movie where nothing worked, this would be a superb example.

Amateur director, shaky camera, watched for about 5 minutes and couldn't watch no more because I got dizzy.
