kiermel Today looking in Netflix, the sections are those of why you've seen blah, blah, blah, I've discovered this movie. I don't know why, this movie caught my eye and I went to see it. Well, I liked it very much and I recommend it (in original version better), a lot of action with touches of tragicomedy, to have a good afternoon that you didn't know what to see.
dissident320 I had sort of ignored this movie. I had seen the trailers and knowing it starred the wonderfully charismatic Jesse Eisenberg and Kristen Stewart had kept me away. But it has remained on Netflix so my curiosity got the best of me.It's not terrible but perplexingly devoid of fun. Casting Jesse as a stoner sleeper agent seemed to be a opportunity for him to play against his usual type. But they never really do anything with it. He smokes pot, he does some fighting but not much. Most of the movie just plods along with a tremendous amount of exposition with other characters. Connie Britton is essentially a plot device and Topher Grace is the scrappy CIA guy trying to climb the ladder. He calls her a lot of names.This movie is quite violent which would be fine if they were going for dark comedy. But the tone comes across as just a straight up action movie. It never goes goofy enough to be a comedy or any over the top action to make it fun.Boring leads and a mostly boring plot. Topher Grace seems to be having fun but operates pretty far out of the tone of the rest of the movie. Overall this movie is bad without being bad enough to laugh at.
dow_san I had this film on in the background and wasn't particularly lost when I did pay attention, easy plot, not so great acting and dialogue wasn't great. Wouldn't say this is a stoner comedy and probably wouldn't call it a comedy film. Main antagonist is irritating. But if you're bored and have nothing to watch then this will do
Fujiko-san Shoddy script writing has ruined an interesting concept proving once again that Max Landis is only an idea man.Some (not a lot) of good acting and albeit great action cannot save this snooze-fest which had me rolling my eyes in frustration. This isn't second-degree B movie magic, this is just lame dialog, bad directing and acting choices and frustratingly lack-luster dialog. I give it four stars because of one or two rare moments of interest.
