"I enjoyed the performances and story. The action was pretty cool as well."

"Went to watch this with my family and it was really good. This was a crazy movie too. Loved the action in this movie . 🍿 "

"CIA cryptographer Charlie Hellers wife is killed. After he grieves a little bit he uses some leverage to talk the CIA into training him so he can go after the killers after it becomes clear they are not after justice for his wife. While he is not a field agent he leans into his considerable intellect to track down the individuals responsible. Malek is perfectly cast in this role as he is convincing as the super smart guy that is not really built for the field. He does get a little training, but he still looks like a guy that got a little bit of training. I actually liked that they allowed him ot focus on what he was good at and didn't make him a super-agent overnight. Any time there was a physical confrontation he looked as inexperienced as he was. This was a refreshing change to how they normally play this out. They do go a little too far with how smart he is. It is believable he could be one step ahead of the CIA but there was still some field stuff to do which I don't believe he would have been able to navigate. However, they are consistent, and he stays true to his character. It ran a little long but im nit picking. It was entertaining and worth a watch.

"Rami was awesome, but there was elements to the storyline that if it had been played out cinematically then it would have made things a lot more interesting. For example, like with Liam's movies, he's always wanting to get revenge on the people who hurt the people that he loves and it would have been awesome to see that played out in this movie. I guess what I'm getting at is that different enough action like enough fighting and enough Gore. It was all about the espionage and political ********. It was still a good movie though."

"Sad to say but this movie is actually a bit boring. Concept is cool, but definitely feel like there could’ve been more action, and ending could’ve been better."

"Pretty darn good fun of a movie. One of my more favorite tropes. I just wish they would’ve expounded upon the main character and his wife’s relationship a bit more. I get like I hardly knew them, which barely made me care for her death and his whole mission for revenge. "

"I thought it was fantastic. Very stressful story. Remi played his part expertly. "

"Loved it "
