Juego de secretos

After reading all the negative reviews, I decided that I wasn't going to even bother to watch this film but knowing the history of how reviewers will say a good film is horrible and a bad film great, I decided to download and watch anyway. And once again negative reviews have it got wrong about a good weekend popcorn film. A cliché shoot em up bang bang, with Mel Gibson as sinister minister and Jason Isaac and Dylan McDermott as fall guys. Definitely a good one time watch. Negative reviews calling this film terrible got it way wrong. This was good popcorn.

I have never been so motivated to write a review to warn general audiences about how bad a movie was.

Horrible plot, writing, acting.

Worst I have seen in decades.

I was shocked at how bad this movie was. It was dark making it difficult to see what was going on at times. The acting and poor editing were just some of the things that made this movie awful. The action scenes were not well choreographed and besides, there was just two of them in the entire movie - one in the first 15 minutes and another in the last 15 minutes. The hour in between these action scenes was a drag, just stretched out dialougues. By the time you get to the end of the movie, you are already tired of the movie. To top it all off, the movie did not have an ending. The ending was literally a cliffhanger. Even if you are trying to set up a sequel, that is not how to do it.

The movie kinda drags you along as the dialogue and story-line seems to get weaker and weaker. One scene was a bit hard to believe and made us think the writer ran our of a legitimate course of action and just haphazardly wrote the scene in. Even still, the actors did a good job.

Hollywood seems to be falling into an abyss with good material and this is a good case of struggling to make a movie worth watching.

Not sure this movie will be a repeat for us...

They kind of left us hanging, so even tho this movie has excellent actors and is well produced, we don't get full satisfaction... maybe to leave an opening for a sequel, but it seemed more like the last 20 minutes was accidentally deleted and they decided not to reshoot it : ) Mildly recommended as an action/spy thriller with a slow start.
