Because there are SO many things wrong with this movie.
Had great potential. Shame to see once good/great actors signing on to this mediocrity. Who has to take the can for this?
Still gave it a 6. Had some good scenes.
OMG!....Everything in this film is a disaster. Full of cliche scenes, a very bad and preposterous script, an overacting poor Gary Oldman, Alice Eve zipped to a mannequin, .....Too be honest, I'm at one third watching the video, and not sure I'm going to end it. seen the scene of the wide room filled out with lots off screens and dubious instrumental, where everyone is watching concerned either someone in Mars, or the launching of a ship to space, or American soldiers atacking a Muslim camp in Irak. C'mon!!! It's actually quite embarrassing for the unknown (to me) director and the two ...writers?
shareIt is on every of the worst movies I have seen in a long time.
shareAnd yet is has a 6.3 rating, which is relatively high compared to some great movies from recent times that have lower. IMDB mass vote really isn't worth anything...
shareThey took a potential spy thriller and turned it into beaches volume 2.
shareThe problem with a film like this is that they built it around a character that was preposterously unlikeable.
share> Had great potential.
Sort of. The concept of transferring one man's memories into another isn't a very unique idea. And, there is nothing new or interesting in this version. There's no big twists or surprises. It just plods along until the rather bland ending.
Costner's character seemed to have a massive headache throughout the movie and Costner played that part of the role well. Unfortunately, when I have a headache, I try to avoid anything loud or exciting and that's the aura that this movie gave off -- Jericho was looking to just be left alone.

What Would Jesus Do For A Klondike Bar (WWJDFAKB)?
With some rewriting of the script the movie had potential.
I couldn't really tell if the writer was trying to be ironic with the Quaker/Jericho relationship. Only reason I could think of to make a supposed head of an apparently enormous CIA Section a complete idiot with seemingly only half a brain an d zero impulse control. The technology as I'm aware of it was absurdly bad. You don't use cruise missiles to shoot down aircraft. Ive no idea what a 'deep web' is supposed to be, or why the military would deliberately connect all their weaponry to it. I don't know why if you could map one brain's neurons into another brain they would simply 'fade away' after 48 hours.
I'm not even sure why the British government would be happy or cooperative with all these paramilitary forces from other countries roaming the streets of London.
> You don't use cruise missiles to shoot down aircraft.
I can give them a pass on that. Jericho said that the missile will turn around and hit wherever it was launched from, be that an aircraft, a house, or a limousine.
> Ive no idea what a 'deep web' is supposed to be, or why the military would deliberately connect all their weaponry to it.
Right. For all of the reasons shown in the movie, all weapons are air-gapped and there is no way to fire them remotely. You have to call the operator on the phone or radio and tell them to fire the weapon.

The locations were uninteresting. No slick, modern looking sets, or exotic locale like a good Bond movie. Mostly dull, dark rooms and hallways. Or, inside cars. Or, drab streets in London. You had no idea where they were half the time. Very low budget. Even lower than a TV movie production. This was some sort of quickie tax dodge for the actors and/or producers.
