I don't mind dark films, but this one just no meaning or redeeming qualities. Sometimes darkness can make you appreciate the light. This one just makes you want to forget it.
I'm the opening scene, the protagonist, played by George Clooney murders his own girlfriend. After a gunfight he tells his lover to run home and call the police, as she does so, he shoots her in the back murdering her. That is your hero. That is your protagonist. You have 2 more slow hours of watching a heartless cold blooded murderer plan on murdering more people, or helping people murder more people.
The worst part is the casting of George Clooney. He is known for having a broody humanity to his characters. The movie is advertised and sold as an action/thriller with George as the dashing hero, but he is just a piece of s-- murderer with no compassion and no soul.
If you at least went in knowing what to expect, I think you might be able to appreciate this dark tragedy. My review, bowser is partially reflected on how the film was promoted and sold.
