Chris Pine is a capable actor and action star. He was one of the producers on this movie as well. When it came across his desk he probably though he had a Jason Borne caliber movie in his hands. And although the script may’ve been good, the way in played out on the big screen wasn’t great.
You know when you sit down to watch a movie and 20 minutes in you realized you have seen it before that the movie just isn’t that memorable. That was the case here. Apparently, I watched it 3 or 4 years ago and I ended up watching it again last night.
The action is solid but there are some plot holes, and the scenes didn’t blend together very well. Pine is really good in this role. The movie seemed underwhelming. It’s perfect if you have a few hours to kill and want to see some ass-kicking. Other than that it isn’t very spectacular. I give it 74 out of a possible 100 potatoes.
