This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

... View MoreThe movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

... View MoreTerrorists making devastating weapons of mass destruction, but don't want to kill people even after setting the devices, so why do it, was your journey necessary.Cleric who deliberately sabotages his own terrorist's plots, what's the point of plotting.Strong female characters, unable to do any wrong, worrying about security failures, which of course cannot be their fault.That just leaves a CIA splinter group to be the brutal baddies and take all the hits.Point about political propaganda is that is supposed to be subtle and if Hollywood is getting this desperate, they must think they are failing to get their PC message across, as if shouting even louder will work.Otherwise, the movie is well made and nicely shot, with some gritty London scenes, but why ruin it by mindless preaching.
... View MoreDo these gentile actors really not know they are used like rags in these zionist fake Jew productions? Apparently audiences are too stupid for the subtle approach now and the Zionist / NWO plot needs to be rubbed in your face. Let's see we have 1) Islamaphobia - covered. Those bad arabs are gonna get 'ya. FEAR THEM! Keep all your dirty little foreign invasions going in perpetuity. Go deeper and deeper in debt until the zionist banksters call your note like Greece. 2) Of course a dose of Russia demonization 'cause our military industrial complex can't rely on arabs alone. We need the Russian boogeyman to keep that defense money flowin' to the M.I.C. Bring back the $ cold war $ ! 3) Last, but not least, the laughably ridiculous protagonist is a bad-ass who can kick Jason Bourne's ass with one hand. Of course it's played by a 5 foot tall, 100 lb. female to round it out with the rabid feminist agenda. It's the Zionists' holy trinity. Pathetic propaganda they no longer bother to try and conceal in a story. The propaganda IS the story.
... View MoreI enjoyed this. Sure, there were cliches typical to this type of movie, but the acting was competent and the story was well written. There are twists and turns, friends turned foes, as expected from this type of movies. There is also a subtext that maybe not all immigrants came to murder the first born of the locals in Western countries, and maybe some of these terrorists are sponsored or helped by our own secret services/army and political parties. This probably came as a shock to everyone under 5 who watched this movie, hence the low rating on this site.There is also a feminist angle to this movie, as the heroine takes twice the physical abuse of an MMA fighter during a season, and she still survives with the makeup intact.
... View MoreSTAR RATING: ***** Saturday Night **** Friday Night *** Friday Morning ** Sunday Night * Monday MorningGovernment Agent Alice Racine (Noomi Rapace) is still haunted by a terrorist atrocity that occurred several years ago that she blames herself for. However, her mentor Eric Lasch (Michael Douglas) persuades her to return to active duty to deal with the case of a London Imam who is apparently using young couriers to rendezvous with others to commit terrorist acts. However, after a subject is apprehended, she is plunged into a nightmarish scenario, unable to tell friend from foe, along with mysterious former marine Jack Alcott (Orlando Bloom) who she first meets breaking into her home.This current affairs themed thriller was received in a lukewarmish way and disappeared from theatres pretty quickly in the UK. Seasoned director Michael Apted has assembled an all star cast, of varying new and old talent, in a suspense tale torn from today's headlines. As is the way, the older, more established talent, including John Malkovich and Toni Collette, are pushed to the side in favour of the younger talent, although even the still fairly fresh Bloom takes a good three quarters of an hour or so to make his appearance.It's an intricate tale, full of twists and turns, red herrings and double crosses, and on this front, Apted has done a good job. But while it's not unthrilling, it's just never as suspenseful or exciting as it wants to be, and can never claim to have you on the edge of your seat. By the end, it's gotten a little carried away with itself, and just become too convoluted to have any effect. By the end, everything's not become unlocked so much as mildly unscrambled.If you fancy putting your mind to good use, it's a fairly rewarding way to spend an hour and a half or so, but if you watch it more than once, you must have very strange tastes. ***
