Definitely a Ridley Scott film. A little slow at times but the acting is very good the story while a bit choppy is still good. Javier Bardem just kills it!

Nah, just reminding people that it is out there still. Found my notebook with my list of films in it and started updating some. Looks good from the trailer we saw before Escape Plan.

I guess I was hoping for something like The Mexican, based on Brad Pitt's character. I kept waiting for the scenes to tie together, but I never really saw the point of the film. Waste of a great cast.
