Was a pretty solid flick. Not as much humor as you'd think from the previews, but still plenty of humor and heart. It's only 90 minutes, but feels longer in a positive way. I wouldn't have minded a an extra 15-20 minutes, but it was a good movie as is.

JGL was solid in his role. Wasn't an Oscar bait role (none of them were), but he was a fit for his character. On that note, all of the actors fit their roles pretty well.

All things considered, it's a solid movie. Good humor, good heart. Doesn't get too preachy or too cliche.

Definitely better than Children of Men.

ScarJo was hot, but that Jersey accent is annoying as all hell.

Can't comment on the naked thing with her, but there is nudity in the movie... in a way.

And yes it is easily better than Drive. Drive was a boring, dry, emotionless movie. Outside of Christina Hendrick's tits and that awesome jacket, that movie was crap.

I hope you're just trolling and not really that terrible. Talk about LCD...

Movie does look pretty good though. Love the team America-esque marionette trailers

Not a good movie. It felt like a ten minute short film stretched out to 90 minutes. I would go into more detail, but any quick synopsis would be considered a spoiler, since the plot was so paper thin.

I usually seem to think that your movie opinion is shite (no offense), so I think I'll avoid this one.

Even if I thought you had a clue on what a good movie is, I still don't think this is a movie I'd like.

Not super eager to see it. I'm pretty sure I know what the plot is going to be.

The trailer makes this movie look horrible. It looked like they tried to insert some funny/witty lines but failed miserably. Many of the outlandish opinions you give on virtually every topic you post about give the appearance that you thrive on being a contrarian and/or troll, so it should be no surprise that your review holds little merit on this board.

Love the drive hate in the OP. Might watch the film now, especially if the gosling gays don't like it

The plot is nothing groundbreaking. It's the execution more than the plot. And ScarJo's body
