Cast: Mark Wahlberg,Russell Crowe,Catherine Zeta-Jones,Barry Pepper
Director: Allen Hughes
Genre: Crime, Thriller
- So we see back to back two releases from Russell Crowe, he is a busy man :) And a serious one at here as well. Playing bad man too often, but he is convincing :)
- Mark Wahlberg, is the lead and he is good. Wont really put it forward that it was any challenging role but yet from a mere pivot, he does come up as a hero screwing the person trying to nail him
- Am glad to see there are roles which are available for actresses of her age. Catherine Zeta-Jones, she is old but she doesnt try to act as someone who is a chic, suitable to her role,she does a good job at hand
- Barry Pepper, had a grey shade to him and that makes him interesting to watch
- The script revolves around sombre atmosphere of political cloud and humbug. Nothing new, but you will sit through at least half the movie until the intentions are unveiled
- The second half gets to be a bit boring since by now you know wats the story behind, all that you wait for is how does the hero bring the bad man down with no superman powers :)
- The movie feels a little less engaging, somewhere lost in private investigation, an unecessary love story and drama. Looks like the director didnt do his job well
- All the hype is certainly not worth, low expectations is the key to it
