- Story: Completely captivating, high adrenaline flick with lots of details and a strong intrigue.
- Setting: There's no pity in this world, just varied interests, to the point where the good soul looks pathetic. It's gritty and dirty.
- Style: High octane violent action.
- Pacing: Fast with very few short breaks.
- Ending: It's a let down. Not as strong as the rest of the movie. The bedside little talk is weak. The sudden appearance nonsensical. What a disappointment.
- Dialogs: Strong.
- Characters: Solid, except for the Russians who are a bit pathetic, underdeveloped, almost caricatural.
- Acting: Great. Except, again, for the Russians.
- Known actors: Anthony Mackie, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Norman Reedus, Woody Harrelson, Casey Affleck, Aaron Paul, Clifton Collins Jr. and Kate Winslet.
- Visuals: Strong.
- Special Effects: Very well done.
- Synopsis & information: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1712261/
- Entertainment value: High
- Who is it for? Those looking for action, intrigue and violence, but do not mind a weak ending.
I've decided to simply go for a score without any review. Maybe I'll start again doing full reviews someday.
