    This movie wasn't as good as I'd hoped, story line was a bit slow and lacked flow.

    if you like "24" you might also like this. I hate "24". The film is twitchy repetitive and annoyiing.

    Fast action, car chases and some stars, not sure I liked the going back in time and jumping between character in this movie.

    Watchable for the good action scenes, but certainly wouldnt call it a thriller or suspense laden. Feels weird the way it finished and the trailer for the film had me expecting something else. Good that they tried something different.

    A pretty good thriller that will leave you guessing till the end. Quite liked they way it was put together with the flashbacks. Will make for a good night in.
