A bad movie

I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but since I have a weak spot for Olga Kurylenko, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, even though Kurylenko is extremely lovely, to be honest, she has spent at least half of her career showing up in some rather sh*tty movies and this one might be the worst of the bunch I have seen so far, I’m afraid. Indeed, not only the damned thing was terribly generic and tedious but most of it didn’t really work at all. For example, if it wasn’t necessarily a bad idea that these bank robbers would wear some high-tech suits, however, to give them some flashy coloured lights to recognize who was who was just lame and ridiculous. At least, it was neat to see Kurylenko playing a highly qualified robber but, to be honest, she was never really convincing. On top of that, even though the plot was seriously generic, some big chunks didn’t make much sense. For example, who the hell was this red-haired woman called Jessica?!? Why would an American senator hide a USB stick with sensitive information in a safe deposit box in South Africa? Was Kurylenko’s character actually hired to retrieve this precious USB stick? Coming back to this evil senator, it seems that Morgan Freeman apparently showed up for this movie as a favour for the director but I hope for him that he did get a nice pay check from this mess. Anyway, to conclude, the damned thing was a huge waste of time for myself and for all the people involved and you should pretty much avoid it.
