Rated PG-13 for language
Starring Liam Hemsworth, Gary Oldman, Harrison Ford, Amber Heard
Directed by Robert Luketic
The Story:
Adam (Hemsworth) is a cocky know-it-all at a technology firm run by Nicholas Wyatt (Oldman). When he gets fired, he takes his company card and his team out on the town for one last hurrah. Wyatt is irritated and drags Adam back in. He's going to set him up to go undercover for his rival, Jock Goddard (Ford) and steal secrets. What a tangled web we're weaving...
Another "should have been better..." film.
You've got Oldman and Ford, but the two barely spend any screen time together.
The two do everything they can to elevate the proceedings whenever they are onscreen, but really, it's not a lot to keep you engrossed.
The sinister-ness is downplayed and mostly the movie peddles along at a clip just around boredom.
That, and Ford should leave his hair alone, he looks terrible with that short-cropped stubble.
If you want a good twist and turn movie, watch The Firm instead.
Final Grade: C-
Rewatchability/Purchase Factor: That's a neither to both.
