This movie was just boring and a mess of cat and mouse games that didn't make sense and was all over the place. The previews made it look like an action movie but what it came down to was this true obscure story of the British SAS in 1980 and the revenge a Sheik wanted for his family. Who cares!! Deniro was the only good part of this move when he appeared for the maybe 10 minutes and even the action sequences were rare. Clive Owen and Statham are usually pretty good in movies, but this was just a dud. Dominic Purcell with a bad British accent shined a few times but this movie had too much going on and got so involved with a boring storyline and a horrible ending. They were trying to make this like Munich but failed miserably. What a waste since it could have been a whole lot better!

Not a bad movie, a few twists and turns but it was predictable and the ending was bad. Gosling and Seymour Hoffman did well, but Clooney was barely in this move and the parts that he had, were small and obscure. It was not a political thriller by any means, but it just represented more scumbag politicians lack of integrity. Enjoyable to watch but the end could have been better. Giamatti is always good and did well in this.
