Notes: Well, my wife apparently thought it was not bad but, to be honest, as far as I was concerned, it has been a while since I have seen such a generic and limp thriller. Indeed, there was really nothing original about the damned thing and, even though it was rather short, it took forever to really take off. Seriously, during the first half, pretty much nothing really happened and then, during the second half, they kept throwing some really underwhelming twists. Furthermore, what was the point of having the action taking place in Croatia if you won’t do anything interesting with this place? I thought it was also fairly ridiculous how they acted as if flying from England to Croatia was like taking a bus (which was supposed to explain how a specific character was able to randomly pop up a couple of times).

“To be honest, I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but since I have a weak spot for Sandra Bullock and since it was on Netflix, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, it was a decent attempt from Bullock to show up in a dark(er) drama and she did give a solid performance. The” read more
“To be honest, I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but since there was a decent cast involved, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, if it wouldn’t have been for Alec Baldwin, I'm afraid the damned thing would have been borderline unwatchable. Indeed, right from the start,” read more
“When I first heard of this movie, I thought the concept did sound really cool and, even if it turned out to be a flop at the box-office, I still wanted to check it out. Indeed, I loved the idea of Jake La Motta facing Rocky Balboa, even if they were both around 70 years old each. And, to my surprise” read more
