Trivia

The check for $150,000 that Ethan (Kevin Costner) receives for his services is curiously dated, November 22, 2013, the 50th anniversary of John F. Kennedy's assassination, a crime Costner (as D.A. Jim Garrison) investigated in JFK (1991). See more »

Goofs

When Ethan attacks the accountant's car with gas he dons a full-face respirator to protect himself, but the respirator has no cartridges attached, meaning he would breathe in the gas himself. See more »

Ugh
23 August 2014 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

How in the world did this movie get green lighted??? Like most modern movies made today, this is just as bad as most of them. The plot doesn't make sense, nor the acting. But worse are the improbabilities. At least TRY to make a movie of this ilk somewhat believable. I guess this is what they call a fantasy, science fiction type movie....but it doesn't work.

Despite all the gun shooting everywhere and the typical car chases, WHERE ARE THE POLICE?? Despite all the punches, falls and cars going over bridges and landing upside down, TWO BAD GUYS GET UP AND RUN TO THE METRO TO CATCH THE KEVIN COSTNER CHARACTER. What? Keven himself gets all punched, bruised and beaten, yet in the next scene, THE SAME NIGHT, two of them are dressed up and not a scratch or buries on them!!! WHAT? If this were a cartoon, maybe, but this is supposed to be realistic. Or as I stated above, a fantasy. Then it would work, although I don't think this was meant to be a sic-fi or fantasy. I really don't know what the writers had in mind for this miss-mash. Even the acting suffers, but of course since the actors have nothing to act.

Why can't more movies be made like a good old fashion thriller like Hitchcock used to make or a good Agatha Christie movie. I guess movies like that are passé'...what a pity.
