saw this movie some time ago - review = bad. well - disappointing. i guess it's mainly cause when i see bruce willis in an action flick i automatically think of the die hard series - which were all entertaining - great plot twists and of course big bangs! this movie just didn't have it.

it tried to have plot twists - which initially were interesting, but it didn't build. it just fizzled... and of course you gotta hate it when they don't explain stuff. who were the bad guys again?

NOT RECOMMENDED

i've seen this movie some time ago - wasn't moved to review it. but to be complete - here's my review.

don't watch it. it sucks ass. not enough action, the ending is all hollywood and it just doesn't compare to any of the die hard series.

been meaning to watch this movie for awhile (it kept getting pushed down in my netflix que) but saw it today!

and sadly the movie is a better concept then a movie. concept - four independent cameras following four characters in one continuous shot. the basic script / story is there but the actors have to improvise the scene - in this case one long scene.

great idea - but it just didn't come off. because of the improv of all scenes it seemed like there really wasn't a flow to the movie. it seemed more like a bunch of noise then a well orchistrated interweaving of stories. the random earthquake thingy where it looked like they just shook the camera... kinda lame.

also they had random characters which didn't seem to fit in. some characters seemed serious - coke using, moody producer, then they had random comical characters - a massuse who basically looked like he didn't know what he was doing massaging random actors - fluffing up their hair.

bottom line - don't waste your time

worst user experience ever!

was invited to this via a (trusted) friend. so i go ahead and try to install the sucker. it installs then asks me to sign in using existing email account... okay. then it asks me to invite my friends.

NOW THE KICKER - THE SUCKER WOULD NOT LET ME CLOSE / CANCEL / ANYTHING UNLESS I INVITED A FRIEND!

YUCK. worst user experience every. i had to bring up my task manager to kill the app. - that's f--ed up.

the movie completely lost my interest and hopes when they introduced santa - SANTA! DAH! what kind of movie expects santa to give you weapons! come on!

ho ho ho - you've been a good boy, here's a sword to kill little animals. come on!

just saw this movie tonight - had high hopes as it seemed to have gotten decent reviews, but was super disappointed.

very very bad. did not like it at all. wonder how people whose actually read the books feel about it. felt like there was too much content which was condensed - leaving out details which (i'm guessing) is important to the overall storyline.
