It occurs to me that nobody wants to make the effort to tell a good story in this genera of film anymore. This film is just like Salt (except not as fun as Salt was,) in that they start with a pretty decent story idea – young, inexperienced safe house manager is thrown into turmoil when a rogue master agent turns himself in trying to escape from armies of people trying to kill him – and then instead of actually creating a compelling story and telling it, they cue 2 hours of senseless, fake looking chase scenes, gun violence, and people getting maimed and killed in every way imaginable. Couldn’t they have had Ryan Reynolds and Denzel talk to each other, just a little bit?!

Note to Vera Farmiga: you are an absolutely amazing actress. Please do not get involved with shit like this anymore. That’s how bad this film is: it made Vera Farmiga look like a bad actress, a REALLY bad actress. That takes some doing.

I took away nothing from this movie except a fucking headache. Oh, and the depressing realization that Ryan Reynolds’ career is in a doom spiral.
