Einkunnir og umsagnir

Generic, derivative and mindless action flick, with a surprisingly star-studded cast. A dangerous criminal is recruited against his wishes to help with a mission to save the world. Clearly inspired by "Face Off" and funnily enough by "Self/less" - another Ryan Reynolds action film released just a year before this.

Costner raises a three star movie up to a four.Oldman was doing it by the numbers and is a far better actor than this performance.It's really a TV movie with a better budget and some well known faces.It is worth renting but not a keeper.

Really enjoyed this film. Kevin Costner was superb, but have to say not enough Ryan Reynolds. Loved it nonetheless.
