You don't really appreciate good editing until you see a garbage movie like this. It had the potential to be mildly interesting, but because of the brainless editing, it dragged on and on, devoid of suspense, excitement or even minimal interest.
A truly crappy, dull, forgettable film.
Don't blame the editor for the writer; GIGO. You can't polish a turd.
shareWell, you're basically saying you found the movie boring, therefore it had lousy editing. Sorry, the two don't go hand in hand, just say it was boring, not that they should've cut a whole lot more scenes.
I didn't see anything wrong with the movie, the story was what it was. Some people like this kind of story, some don't. I did because I don't have the attention span of a gnat...
I love thrillers like this but I have to agree with the first poster that what could've been a decent story was ruined by the editing. Chases, gunfights were cut so badly I ended up having no idea where any of the characters were in relation to each other and the scene loses all its suspense and excitement. Attention span has nothing to do with it.
shareI agree-this film was total keek. I watched it last night. Have watched similar a million times before
shareI so agree, it's done like a cross between music video and "24", so the end result has to be garbage. No suspense just pace, and ugly colors. This movie belongs in the trash, only Douglas on the run livens things up a bit, but it's not enough to save this nowhere-going turd. The villains of course, are baaaad foreigners.
shareHey,I can forgive the lousy editing....
Eva Longaria was in the cast.Oh baby,she is extremely hot!!!!!
I have not seen this move, but I really do understand what you mean when you say one almost needs to see lousy editing in order to appreciate well-done editing.
Another example I saw was in the "Transformers" movie. The cut-every-five-seconds editing was infuriating, and the failure to properly cross-cut the two converging plotlines completely neutered the movie of any suspense or wonderment whatsoever.
But thanks for scaring me away from this movie, everybody. I will stick to "Desperate Housewives" and not bother checking out Eva's movie career.
