Quickie Review: Matt Weston ( Ryan Reynolds ) yearns to be a full-pledged CIA field operative. But he gets more than he wished for when the CIA's most-wanted "guest", Tobin Frost ( Denzel Washington ), an ex-operative with a trail of blood in his wake, is checked-in at Matt's safe house.
The audience enjoyed this Action/Thriller movie, with its many plot twists and turns--'not much of an "originality" there, to be sure, for this type of movie. But, still, it was likable enough. It didn't get a "Hands Clapper" ending, though.
I liked this movie, too. And I'd recommend it as a "Go See" to both fans of Denzel Washington and fans of Action/Thriller movies.
Here are the things that I found wrong in this movie: Surely, the bullets that he fired at the ground at an angle in that crowded area ricocheted someplace--or some places, even. The safe house was attacked in daylight ... and nobody outside the building heard the firefight and the explosions? In the safe house, when Matt shut the door, the bad guy who just killed Kiefer ( Robert Patrick ) should have heard it since he was still around the corner. In the car chase, the multiple bullets which struck the rear window of the car that Matt commandeered should have gone through and struck the inside of the windshield, and possibly the back of Matt's head, too! In the context of the sentence which Tobin used, the correct Prepositional Phrase should have been, "... between you and me." In the shanty town of Langa, Matt sneaked-up on a bad guy and just knocked him out--I would have killed the bad guy, if I were Matt ( one less bad guy to worry about ). When Matt reported to his superior at the CIA Headquarters, his face no longer had scabs even though the events he documented were Very Recent!!!
