Reviews

Charles Herold (cherold) I really enjoyed this movie. It starts a little slow, but once the leading schlub discovers he's a superweapon, well, things get pretty entertaining, with lots of intense, crazy action involving guns, spoons, and frying pans.This is very much a movie that doesn't want to give you time to stop and think about the story. If you do stop you'll definitely see some issues; for example, the reason given to shut down the original program should still be a problem, but it's just ... not. That's so lazy.But as mindless fun goes, this is a really good example of it. It's also amusing with a surprisingly sweet romance at the heart of it. Torn between giving this a 7 or 8, but because of the less-than-sensible parts I'll go with 7.

Jeremy Gagné This movie is totally underrated.To be honest I gave it a try few years ago (writing this in 2018), but wasn't in the mood for the plot are could read here and there.Eisenberg, Stewart, Leguizamo and Grace embark you to a journey where situations, pace and dialogs are just giving you an excellent time.Definitely worth the 96 minutes of my life.

dissident320 I had sort of ignored this movie. I had seen the trailers and knowing it starred the wonderfully charismatic Jesse Eisenberg and Kristen Stewart had kept me away. But it has remained on Netflix so my curiosity got the best of me.It's not terrible but perplexingly devoid of fun. Casting Jesse as a stoner sleeper agent seemed to be a opportunity for him to play against his usual type. But they never really do anything with it. He smokes pot, he does some fighting but not much. Most of the movie just plods along with a tremendous amount of exposition with other characters. Connie Britton is essentially a plot device and Topher Grace is the scrappy CIA guy trying to climb the ladder. He calls her a lot of names.This movie is quite violent which would be fine if they were going for dark comedy. But the tone comes across as just a straight up action movie. It never goes goofy enough to be a comedy or any over the top action to make it fun.Boring leads and a mostly boring plot. Topher Grace seems to be having fun but operates pretty far out of the tone of the rest of the movie. Overall this movie is bad without being bad enough to laugh at.

muvi-fan-73 Let's get straight what things I liked about this movie.Unconditional love, from a character played by Kristen Stewart who could have been a CIA agent in turn.Hot scenes in which Kristen simply kills.AND our 'successful' puppy with all his extraordinary action.
