Funny thing, I rated this a 6/10 several years ago. Obviously, my rating system has changed. This is a great romantic comedy. There are very few negatives and very many positives. The leads are both hilarious. She is quirky and he is goofy, both of them in their own sophisticated way. You can see they are so charismatic and yet able to be equally crass, but so cute in the process.
The bosses are likable and yet putrid. They also played their parts extremely well. If you want a very well-rounded and hilarious, romcom, but not too hilarious (is that a thing?) and not too crude, this is a good choice. If I had to think of anything negative, it would be the possibility of some slow moments. Some of the funny scenes could be much funnier if they weren't so understated. But obviously, that was deliberate for some reason. It's not too raunchy or slapstick. It's more intellectual, and easygoing, even though the language is very foul.

I'm surprised this is the first time I've seen this one. This is a riveting film about brokering a hostage deal in Beirut. Hamm portrays a calm, cool alcoholic diplomat who is the smartest guy in the room. As the story goes, he dealt with a tragedy in his life, and he's never recovered. Now it's 10 years later and he's in the middle of it again. He doesn't wanna be here, but he's the only one that can accomplish this mission.
This film is nonstop entertainment with action and intrigue throughout. The tension is constant and the plot is clear and fast paced. This reminds me of any great movie of its type. It's gritty, flawless and sometimes brutal, but they found a way to keep the violence tasteful and not gory or glorified.
The only negative is the lighting, which is often too low. Hard to see some of the details, but it's obviously deliberate.
I recommend this for ANYONE who likes suspenseful political thrillers.

This is just another space movie among thousands of space movies that are not particularly memorable. However it held my attention and was somewhat thrilling.
As half the other reviewers said, it's about Lord of the Flies in space. With that in mind, you can probably guess how it goes. Somebody always gets ejected out of the airlock in space thrillers.
How do we rate this film in light of all of the usual formulas? Well, first of all the cinematography is only average. It's a fairly dark film as far as the lighting goes. The music is the usual sci-fi mixture that you've heard in every low budget film, which is unfortunate, because this is obviously not low budget. So far, not looking good. However, I feel the acting was great, even though some of the characters are very shallow and underdeveloped. Sci-fi movies can get away with some character liberties, because these are teenagers living in the future under unusual circumstances.
I have to admit this film was entertaining enough to watch it again someday.
