Awesome submitted by mysterio on August 23, 2011, 9:57am Awesome

Good movie submitted by Ilyjtwya on July 17, 2012, 1:45am This was an action packed movie, with some surprises. Roger Ferris's attempts to make nice with the local woman's family was interesting. There was also a lot of good tension between the characters

really good movie submitted by 21621031390949 on August 11, 2016, 8:40pm This is a really well-done spy movie, a genre I don't usually love. But this is a good one. The acting is excellent (with DeCaprio and Crowe how could it not be excellent) as is the direction. A little bit of painful-to-watch violence (torture), but not a lot of gratuitous violence throughout the movie.
