Cho finally delivers in these scenes, twisting and turning his plot, while also giving us the car chases and gunfire we’ve been waiting for. The only question is if you’ll still be awake by the time he gets there. Read full review

The film is seemingly terrified of boring us, offering one elaborate montage of catch and release (or of survey and flee) after another. Read full review

Slick production values can’t disguise the lack of imagination. Read full review

The film is often so deterministically plotted that a sense of creative detachment hangs over far too many scenes, leaving an impression that the filmmakers may sometimes be more interested in making grand statements than in engaging interest. Read full review

While the movie does offer some interesting ideas and there were some decent action sequences towards the end, it never gets out of it's comfort zone and as a result, it becomes quite predictable. While it's not terrible, it's still a disappointingly average film.
