Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Melanie Bouvet The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Clarissa Mora The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

philippajst I enjoyed this movie for all the reasons why the critics panned it - the sex scenes, the violence, the trash talk, the 'predictableness'. Of course, Cuba Gooding, Jr., and Helen Mirren are favorite actors of mine, and they played their roles superbly. Helen Mirren's character's death scene was cinematically riveting. That movie was the first time I had seen Stephen Dorff and found that some subsequent roles had him typecast. He played the same vicious, depraved personality as a vampire in "Blade" that he does as the sadist in this movie. Joseph Levitt's role was surprising. I guess because I hadn't seen him do anything since "Third Rock", in which he was a little kid. To see him performing sex acts! Wow! Mo'Nique was good, but her acting skills grew after this.But the music! "Libertango" is a very exciting composition by Astor Piazzola. Love it! Maybe that's why I was glued to Mirren's death scene. Overall, I found this movie thrilling.

beerhug The year is 2012 and I have just completed watching this movie. To be honest I think this is one of the few movies where I saw some intense stuff from Cuba Gooding Jr. however I feel the antagonist could have been a little more satirical and Joseph Gordon was simply wasted in this film. Mirren did OK and the lady love Vanessa Ferlito was expressionless however the plot was interesting.When the question comes to execution this movie is somewhat derailed despite the futile effort of the director, I guess it shows the weakness in the script. What if is the biggest question in this movie's execution. What if the scene was executed in this manner, what if the actor executed the dialogue in this manner and stuff like that. I guess we will know now.One of the biggest disappoint was Mo'nique's role and yet it is one of the better executed role. I guess in Hollywood African American women aren't provided much chance to express their talent again it is a loss to the cinema.On a scale of ten I rate this one 6

dbborroughs Cuba Gooding Jr and Helen Mirren are hit men lovers who fail to kill a pregnant woman and so take it on the lamb.Good but unremarkable noirish tale isn't worth much beyond being a time killer. Its clear why Mirren took the role which contrasts with her recent award winning ones. What works in the film is that it kind of confounds expectations. Things don't go as planned and the actors are seemingly playing against type. Who ever thought of pairing Cuba Gooding with Mirren should be rewarded since it keeps things interesting from the get go. While I certain think ts worth seeing, I'd wait to run across it on cable

sdjar42 If I had the say over whether children could be in movies there would be no children in movies. Parents must leave there parenting instincts at the door when making these decisions for their children. This movie taught a little boy how to kill. This was a weird movie, Helen Mirren must have been paid millions for doing this stinker. The British will do anything for money. Cuba was good but he's always good and this was not worthy of him. I'm sorry I watched this garbage. I was truly shocked to see Helen and Cuba in this movie. It was tawdry and left a bad feeling with me. I guess I do not want to see that underbelly of the world.
