Rating: 7 out of 10, This was billed as a Bruce Willis action flick but he’s only in it for a very short time. I was pleasantly surprised by this very good action movie even with the fairly gaping plot holes. Why can’t a trained assassin who just shot someone from extremely long range kill the hero when firing from point blank distance, instead shooting at his feet so he can dance over the near misses (that always pisses me off). Cavill (Superman) is the lead and has definitely progressed since Immortals as far as acting – now only wooden instead of leaden. He does clueless well. His family is kidnapped and as a businessman now finds himself caught in a vortex of violence between competing police, spy, and terrorist agents. If you can ignore the plot holes this was a very good flick that moves right along with an extremely engaging cast. Sigourney Weaver plays the villainess and is still so good at action and the one liners that you almost start rooting for her instead of the hero.
MVP: Verónica Echegui as Lucia the newly discovered half-sister steals every scene
