Goofs

At about 23:00, when Kyle puts the gun to Lee's head, the trigger is pulled all the way back, but the hammer has not dropped. The safety is not engaged (the safety switch is horizontal, not slightly up-angled into the slide catch notch). I suspect this is a modified "prop" gun. Still.....if it is supposed to be a real gun, the scene is factually incorrect. But, I am open to correction. See more »

Trailer was good, resist the urge to watch the movie
15 October 2016 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

What a boring movie. I watched the trailer and thought this would be a riveting action filled movie. Nope; it's actually a really lazily directed/acted/produced movie with absolutely no excitement. The trailer is excellent, lots of tense moments, makes you wonder how it will all turn out. Those moments in the movie are all drawn out with no tension-filled music to hype up the emotion and no exciting camera work or facial expressions from the actors to make you feel entertained. Jack O'Connell seemed to be the only one in real anguish, and George Clooney had some anxiety in the beginning but then after about 10 minutes, all that is forgotten and the movie plays out and is so cheesy I started seeing similarities between it and Hallmark Channel movies. There was a lot of propaganda and preachiness about the stock market as well. Annoying. The amount of language was way over the top. I watched this on Vidangel.com, and all the language was silenced, but that left out seriously 1/3 of what everyone was saying! Ridiculous and unnecessary, boring movie. Just watch the trailer and try to resist the urge to go see the full-length movie.
