I don't remember ever having registered for this site before so I think it's just new with teething problems. I believe the code was listed in the Metro this morning so shouldn't be VIP.

was a great film with lots of action! but ...

[spoiler]what an absolutely rubbish ending. its really like they realised the film was already 2h15, they'd run out of money and ideas so just sailed off into the sunset. very poor ending to an otherwise awesome film[/spoiler]

I am confused why they haven't put Matt Damon or Jason Bourne in it. He made the films great. (also Talented Mr Ripley was fab too) I like a good chase movie.

At least Moby is still collecting royalties from "Extreme Ways".

I'm sorry but this was dire :/

Actors were good with what very little they had to work with and the action was good but few and far between.
And DONt get me started on the ending, I heard the cheesy music start, looked at my bf and said out loud, That is NOT it? Then the credits came up and I was genuinely frustrated, felt like id wasted my time

Pfft possibly a 4?
Nah we'll stick with 3, 1 for Renner, 1 for Weisz and 1 for the action...

I think like TDKR, this will be compared to the ‘original’ series starring Matt Damon and this is where this film might fall short. While the previous 3 were interesting, thrilling and action packed, this seemed to just chug along. In isolation it really isn’t that bad a movie, great performance by Renner and some great action sequences. But it just seemed to lack something.

[spoiler]I mean, essentially this was all about an ‘agent’ trying to get his drugs. While this may be an extremely simplistic view on the plot, it basically sums the movie up. The ending does leave it open to additional spin-offs but is that all that’s required these days? :wall:[/spoiler]
Overall a good film, but not great. 6/10

PS. and the ending did leave a bit of a sour taste.
