Title: Great picture, so-so movie
Product review: Muddled plot and wooden acting by the leads aside, the movie does look fantastic on Blu Ray, reference quality picture. Its beautiful. But under the surface of that beauty, is nothing. Clive Owens is Clive Owens. There is nothing new in his performance. Its the same as every other movie he has been in since Bourne Identity. Naomi Woods has a throw away role. The studio could have saved money with a lesser known actress. The dozen or so supporting actors save the movie, making it watchable, but the story isn't engaging. You don't care about the good or bad guys. You just wait for the next pretty location shot. There is a blip of hope in the middle that makes you think this shouldn't have been a box office failure. That feeling of hope doesn't last. Save your money.
