An average movie

To be honest, I wasn’t sure what to expect from this flick but since there was an interesting cast, I thought I should give it a try. Furthermore, there was a an interesting director on board. Indeed, back in the 70's, Bob Rafelson directed the instant classic 'Five Easy Pieces' starring Jack Nicholson and was promised a bright future. Unfortunately, 40 years later, his recent movies are not so impressive anymore. This flick is a good example. Indeed, you had a very nice cast (Samuel L. Jackson, Milla Jovovich, Stellan Skarsgård) and a good mood so the whole thing had some potential. However, there were some big issues with the story itself. I mean, they keep you in the dark as long as they can and, for a while, I must admit, it was rather intriguing, but, at some point, they eventually had to explain what was going on and, honestly, I wasn't impressed (understatement of the year...). As usual, they just threw a couple of annoying twists and then I really lost any interest in the whole endeavor. To conclude, I have seen worse movies but it was still a really half-baked thriller and it is not really worth a look, even if you love the genre.
