"I always love Rachel McAdams movies, and this was no exception. I loved the drama and mystery. and you can always count on rachel to be wonderful"

“I liked this movie. Russell Crowe gives a riveting performance and Ben Affleck, well he just seems to be the same character over and over. There were enough chase scenes and surprise moments to keep it moving although there were some moments that didn't move quickly enough. Some of the reporter's sources weren't as believable in their roles but it didn't hurt anything. I didn't like the ending - it could have been a really good twist ending if they would have chose another character to have been the person who was jailed at the end. The assassin had an eerie look going for him but he could have been built into a much scarier participant. Although it did have a little bit of the "we are on a deadline" urgency that reminded me of All The President's Men, the suspense could have been built up” read more

" Note: I really enjoyed this one...until the last 15 minutes. There is this really bad twist at the end which is supposed to be really schocking and/or entertaining but it actually didn't make much sense and definitely ruined the whole thing for me. Why should you watch it anyway? In spite of this ending, there are so many good things in this movie. It may not be really original but it is very well done and there is a rather amazing cast."
