Discredited, she is forced to go on the run while she tries to clear her name and stop a large-scale terrorist attack set for New Year's Eve in Times Square.
Likes : I stumbled apoun this film by mer-chance as i didn't even know this film was around im glad i got to see it, because it a very underrated film, IMO, brilliant acting,brilliant cast, brilliant story concept refresh, its actually good to see Pierce Brosnan as the bad guy.
I love the way this story sets its self up as a Foreign Service Officer played by (Milla Jovovich) stumbles apoun a terrorist plot that put her in the firing line of a ruthless hit man for hire called Nash who they call the watch maker played brilliantly by Pierce Brosnan.
This film must of been done before Milla fell pregnant as the new resident evil 6 film was delayed in filming due to this in 2014, so this must of been a film done before, but what a film it is, a good cat & mouse concept story that has that 24 series concept, where milla character is frame for something she stumble on but she has to go on the run no only to protect her self but to uncover the reason why she being hunted.
the stunt work & special effect from the explosion to slightly C.G.I effect to add explosion really adds the thriller's action that it has to offer the audience keeping you gripped to screen, Pierce just come off very cold like someone without that highly trained assassin cold ruthless, knows what he doing get the job done no matter the cost of lives type of character which add to the evil nature of this person ; which is good because you can actually believe who he is, most villain come off bad but it good to see a villain done right.
For a spy thriller this is the best ive seen in while, one film i recommend watching if you get the chance to as it great story keep you interest throughout as well as the action that make this a great film to watch.
Dislikes : Not really seeing any wrong with this film to be honest as it a great film.
Overall : Action thriller that has a great story concept , brilliant casting, brilliant acting.
Rating: 5 out of 5 for entertainment / 8 out of 10 for concept
