    UTTER TRIPE

    Don't lose two hours watching this complete boring rubbish movie. Go out and wash you car as you will get more satisfaction.

    Waste of talented cast

    I really wanted to enjoy this movie. Had a super cast, promising teaster of U.S conspiricy joined with military action.... all good on paper.

    This movie is dullest I've seen in ages. Slow beyond belief, you spend the whole time waiting for the 'action' - or at least something to spike your imagination. There is nothing wrong with slower movies that take you on a ride that inspires thought or provokes a topic of conversation - but this dud had neither.

    Shameful waste of all these award winnning actors - although Charlize did manage to shine through on occasion.

    To top it all off the ending was totally corny and made me angry I'd wasted 2 hours watching this movie.
