Wow, kinda harsh on this one.
I do sort of know what you mean. Stronger story than, say, The Expendables, but not well-written enough to be LeCarre, either.
This movie was kind of a throwback for me. You used to see more of these (relatively) low-budget espionage/action flicks back in the 70s and 80s.
Personally, it worked for me (though it almost didn’t; that opening sequence used at least three cars that were too new to be in a scene set in 1980 and that bugs the CRAP out of me). There was a refreshing moral ambiguity to the setup, and the performances were pretty good.
And they DID explain Owens’ character’s eye; it came up somewhere that it had been shot out.
I really liked the action sequences, and I liked the characters. It wasn’t brilliant, but it was a pretty good time-killer.
Brett: Thanks for the comment…you’re right, they do explain it. He explains it himself–I want to say in the scene in the apartment, if you remember what I mean–but for forever before that it was just a thing where I knew something was wrong or…not, wasn’t sure. Like I said, just distracting. And that was my thing: liked action, liked the characters. Time-killer, yes. But if it had been fine with being That, I think I would have enjoyed it more. But some movies work better for some than others–so more power to you, my friend. Thanks again. :-)
