Prepare for a threadbare, hole-ridden plot with cardboard characters, whose ludicrous dialogue is matched by the stupidest twists in recent memory. After a feature like this, the only thing that’s on the line is Gibson’s career.
I have to give this movie a 6 only because the acting was slightly off, it felt as if the actors were new to acting, if that makes sense. But you can overlook that and still get into the movie, one of the rare movies In this Era of trash movies, that actually kept my attention throughout the movie from beginning to the end. I think the ending probably hurt the movie a little but I still enjoyed it and will probably get it on bluray when it's released.
5/10
I don't want to lie but there was no way I wanted to see this movie in the cinema when my brother had talked me into going because I knew something was something wrong with it, but I took its poster because why not?
First of all the movie was average to good it's plot was good and had some suspense throughout it bravo for this **** a single gap that didn't sit well with me, and if there was, it was definitely clarified at the end of the film.
It's cast was very indifferent, with the exception of Mel Gibson, the rest of the actors were simple extras, ah yeah, this young man from the Narnia movies also plays and I was wondering where has this soul been lost.
Its soundtrack as well as its writing was lazy like it was literally written in a day nothing made sense even when the movie was trying to get you something and move you about the characters and the plot.
I don't want to talk about how irritated I am with the ending and especially with the plot twist,yes I understand some people liked it but we all have to admit the laziness of the director and the screenwriter so something csn make sense from this **** FILM'S PLOT TWIST WAS AWFUL you wanna see a better plot twist go and see F**** C***,Memento, The prestige or any other movie except this one.
DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE BECAUSE IT'S A WASTE OF 2 **** HOURS OF TIME!!!Am i being clear?!Good.
To sum it up, the movie is average to good watch until one point from one point onwards but its ending and plot twist is **** you happen to see this movie, either you will like it and be happy with the ending, or you will be truly mad by the ending and change your whole view of the movie... simple as that.
Heavily flawed as this movie is, I have seen worse! The last few movies I’ve seen Mel Gibson in have been on a steady decline in terms of actually being watchable! I’d like to see him do something halfway decent before he either retires or dies.
The worst executed ending in the history of cinema. Or rather, the worst joke in Hollywood. The development of the film is not the best, but there are still parts that convince you that this is an acceptable film. My score is a 4 only for the voice of the character Gary, it's the only thing that shines in this movie.

When an actor like Gibson is his own executive producer in something self-described "What kind of B-movie bullshìt is this?", it means he is heading for decline on a par with Cage and Willis. Happy birthday.
