Where to Watch
Top Cast
Lacks both mystery and urgency.
The film doesn't begin to take off until its second half, when it thankfully shucks its weak supporting cast and turns into a three-way battle of wits involving Jackson, Jovovich, and Skarsgård, its wiliest and most compelling characters.

Even though the director does a good job he fails to make this into a good film. However, it'snot his fault, there's just too mush going on... Six very individual characters... A story that's convoluted even before the twists are revealed. For this film to have been good it needed to be longer, loose characters, or take the story back to bare bones.
Report
I am a big Samuel Jackson fan, and certainly don't mind seeing Jovovich in anything remotely resembling a movie, but this was a real stinker. Major plot holes abound, and there is nothing to really make you care about any of the players. I did chuckle a few times, but probably not at what the director intended, but rather at the sheer preposterousness of some of the scenes. Unless you really have time to kill and can think of no other way to spend it, you can skip this mess.

Un couple ici impromptu (et involontaire) de comédiens tout à fait appréciables… dans un nanar gratiné ! ça nous fera donc un beau 2. Cela commençait fort bien certes mais ça montre ses limites rapidement, trop rapidement…
Des situations invraisemblables, des personnages caricaturaux, des évènements téléphonés… non, pas vraiment de raison de regarder ce truc là plus que de raison, c’est-à-dire en entier ! ce serait une perte de temps.
