Boring and predictable


While it had a potentially interesting premise, the movie became a standard Hollywood thriller in the end where the victim becomes the hero and saves the day over the stupid villain and no one else gets hurt. I could see it coming from the beginning, but especially from the moment that she stabbed him with the pen. There should have been some additional consequences for her not obeying him, including the possibility that she may have to consider sacrificing her father to save the target and his family. Then you at least have a movie that gets you thinking rather than the standard mindless fare that it is.

Agreed, it was a really good movie up until the chase started. They really blew it there. This film had so much potential. I still like the movie, but I just don't like how it went all cliche in the end.
