Well no idea about film!!!

Went early to the Odeon Lothian Road before 6 and all seats gone by 6.10. It was in Cinema 3 which is tiny!! At 6.30 Manageress came in to say lots of folks outside so they were moving us to Cinema 2. We got to move first then the other folks came in. At 6.40 she said they were still loading up the film and would be 10 mins. At 7.15 in very hot cinema still waiting... Went down and was told it would be another 10 minutes or so... but no guarantee it would be loaded then

I said they should have had it in the right Cinema to begin with but she said RBS had not told them how many folks to expect 8O 8O I asked for tickets so she gave me them to come back another day to see anything, no time limit. I said this in the cinema and a few other folks then started to leave.

Was the film worth waiting for?? Please let me know.

Having not been well since Boxing day, and having the faff with J Edgar last night when the picture was way to big for the screen and then they had to re-run it, this was all I needed tonight.

however, may go and see George Clooney , sure he would put a smile on my face!!

well, you'll see what the others say but I personally found it ridiculous and as a result walked out 30 minutes before the end... maybe it got better?!

This has to be the worst cinematography I have seen in a long long time! I just could not think about anything else but the next shot that would involve a window or outdoor lighting... what the f*ck was that! Overexposure 100% of the time when outdoor lighting was involved!
I even started to think they ran out of budget (the cast may have been on the expensive side) and could not afford a proper director and cinematographer! Well, I just learned Soderbergh did the job... oops!

The editing was particularly horrendous as well but the more laughable was undeniably the cheap 70s-TV serie style score!
Oh and the story... dear that was slow... and bad!

Appalling!
4/10

(Thanks to the FMUKers for saving me the last free seat at Islington! people that arrived after me were actually seating on the floor!)

Sorry to hear about all that palaver marjoreemarjora.

Gutted to have missed this, thought it looked good. I watched Gina Carano in a documentary called Fight Girls a few years ago so I was keen to see her in this, not to mention the rest of the cast. Looking forward to the reviews!

What a load of fmuking crap #justsaying. I can't think of anything good to say about it. All involved should be banned from films for months. Apart from Gina. Its not her fault they took her and tried to build a film around her skills. 3/10 for her fight skills

Now you're exaggerating! But it's nice to be on the same page with you again, Celini.

Disappointed. Not what I had hoped for or expected. Gina is a sexy, feisty lead but that's about all the positives I can give. It just doesn't gel or get you involved. And is it just me but I found the film's score and incidental music really irritating at the crucial moments...
