I saw this for free a couple of weeks ago. Thought it was really good and reminded me a lot of Seven...Gerard Butler played a good villian although some bits were a bit too gruesome for me!!

More tickets available, but I can't get to any of the cinemas. I'm truly gutted. I've had tickets from both of the Momentum screenings previously, but had to miss them both at the last minute.

Now, when I'm finally free to go, I can't find a cinema close enough to get to from work!!!!

Gory and gruesome in parts, the movie had quite a few really scary moments....Re-iterating what Ebert seems to have said in his review - I thoroughly enjoyed the movie when I watched it the cinema but it doesnt quite feel the same way an hour later...Good escapist fare or 'masala' as we call it in Bollywood terminology :-)

7/10 for me...

I just got back from Sheffield VUE.. Thought it was pretty awesome!! Didn't like the ending though.. And there were a few jumpy moment (you guys know which bit I'm talking about!)..

Overall I give it a 7/10.. Never really get to see good action thrillers these day, this was a pleasant surprise!

This is definitely a film that men would prefer, although for an action film, I managed to follow the story pretty well! I did have to look away at quite a few gory parts, like other people have said, but it was a good story and well acted. I also jumped at one point, which was quite embarrassing, although my husband told me other people jumped too!

Quite enjoyed this one although agree with others that the ending wasn't as well crafted as the first 2/3

8/10 from me

Ridiculous, stupid, fun film. Saw the attempts to get people jumping coming a mile off.

7/10

Saw meets Silence of the Lambs!

3 out of 5 but only because Gerard Butler gets his kit off. :p

I can't remember if I talked about this when I saw it, a couple of weeks ago. I thought it was a silly film, with far too many plot holes, plus I could see what was coming a mile off. It did look nice and glossy with eye candy for the ladies LOL.

Ultimately it was still better than the last couple of films I've seen
preferred locations Shepherds Bush, Westfield, Notting Hill, Central London, Wimbledon, Islington, Wandsworth thanks

I turned to Mr Boop 3 minutes into this film and said "I dont think Iam gonna like this!" I thought it was way to shocking and the fact that I am a woman and have children really made me feel the emotion of the first 3 minutes of it all....................having said that managing to stay seated through that I throughly enjoyed this film and found the revenge most helpful!
