I genuinely enjoyed this one, it sort of reminded me of the movie shooter. It had its dull moments but then the action scenes had you on the edge of your seat. It’s worth an watch if you like bank heist/robbery movies.

It was actually a good film, not amazing, but I enjoyed it.

Once you get past the stomach-churning America is so great etc it turns into a good movie. Tons of action that isn't over the top suspend logic which was nice. How he managed to travel around is the big question that never gets answered.

Worth watching
8.5/10

This wasn't a bad movie, but very formulaic for this genre. I like Chris Pine in a lot of things he does, but equally don't like him in just as many. He isn't a great actor and I always watch him thinking "James T. Kirk". Overall this is a very predictable plot line but it's an entertaining action flick, nothing more and nothing less.

Starts slow to build the characters, picks up in the middle with action but for some reason it just fell short for me. I found myself fast forwarding scenes near the end just to get to the credits.

This is not great but at least a decent action/thriller. There were a couple of major issues I had with it - 1) why exactly did Rusty send his men to kill Chris Pine's character? 2) did his friend Mike turn on him or was he duped as he said "I thought you were dead" and 3) if [spoiler] Rusty and his men were all killed then [/spoiler] why didn't/couldnt James Harper go home again?

How I rate:
1-3 ❤ = seriously! don't waste your time
4-6 ❤ = you may or may not enjoy this
7-8 ❤ = I expect you will like this too
9-10 ❤ = movies and TV shows I really love!

People are overly critical of this. Pine did a very good job. The script and plot is quite generic, but Foster and Pine are always good together. I liked it. Perhaps in part because the reviews made me expect a 2/10 flick.
6.6 for me.

Not the worst movie released in 2022. Must watch.

6.5 slow start but then got better

A bit slow, takes a lot of time to get going, but quite ok in the end.
