I went to see this last night and was pleasantly surprised.

There's a lot of really quite poor reviews for it around the interwebz and on TV and frankly I was expecting it to be awful, but it wasn't. The acting was pretty solid and the cast speaks for itself. There's a lot of action and plenty of semi-decent humour, especially from John Malkovich - as you might expect. The plot was also good imho, something that the critics had said was particularly poor. It's no Die Hard (1 or 2) but it's very watchable.

I'd definitely recommend it.

Some of the more famous cast members:
Bruce Willis
Mary-Louise Parker
Jefferson Brown
Morgan Freeman
Ernest Borgnine
John Malkovich
Brian Cox
Helen Mirren

I actually really enjoyed this film! I love Mary-Louise Parker though so I may have been a bit biased ha. John Malkovich is so odd.

The reviews i've read have all been pretty positive though lol :\

Gotta agree, I do love John Malkovich though.
