Mike's Review: An entertaining movie. It had some drama, action and comedy all rolled up into a decent story with a good ending. What more could you ask for in a movie. I kind of liked the way the movie progressed and it definitely didn't feel like you were sitting there for almost two hours. Kevin Costner played a very believable role which kept you engaged in the story and the supporting cast was a interesting mix which brought the whole movie together nicely.
Best Scene: There were a few goods ones but I liked the way it ended with the Christmas present.
Mike's Rating: Worth the price of the ticket.
Bean's Review: Quirky movie. Kevin Costner plays a veteran CIA
agent who is dying. Prior to death, he wants to reconnect with his
daughter. While trying to accomplish this reconnection, he is pulled
into one last job of killing “The Wolf”.
Initially you are not sure if this is a funny
or dramatic movie. Ultimately, it is both – hence the quirkiness. The
movie begins a bit slow, but picks up with the action sequences. The
plot is choppy and not as smooth as Besson’s movie,
The Fifth Element (1997). The family dynamic needed to be better developed,
as well as the humor.
As for actors, Kevin Costner is always
enjoyable to watch. The head CIA operative, played by Amber Heard, is
an interesting character, but not memorable. The scenes in which
Costner’s character is about ready to kill his adversary,
but he is overcome by his illness, are fairly amusing.
Best Scene: when Costner’s character rides the bike
Bean's Rating: Matinee and DVD.
