Thought this was good based on the reviews… boy was I wrong😐 Everyone in this movie is indestructible, to a laughable extent. Bad guys and good guys get knocked out, wake up stabbed, then beaten to pump—then their health bar recharges and two minutes later they are back from the grave.

Slow, boring, vague, hard to follow at times, overly detailed. Main character lives his life along railway lines, does whatever the mob tells him, thinks of rebelling for a moment but never does. End with everyone dying of old age. A waste of 3 hours. Warning to future self: never watch a movie that critics like.

A riveting watch, that begins with a strong presence and which slowly builds on it up to third episode... only to be let down rapidly by shoddy writing. The ending "twist"is cheap, the supposed "culprits"have little motive and much of the previous hints, murmurs, whispers and observations turn out be a massive waste of the viewers. Naturally, critics, being born both blind deaf to good film, don't pick up on any of this. SPOILERS; Does it sound plausible that a crime boss would try have the home secretary assinated simply because he didn't like a bill she passed? No. Not only will that not stop the bill from being passed, it would easier to simply bribe a few politicians to shoot the bill down. So who actually had a motive? Her sucsessors, obviously. What's more, she was rapidly increasing the power of the secret services and rolling back the powers of the police-- A move her next-in -line strongly disagreed with. The ending almost writes itself. It would be a much better, albeit darker, if the series ended with a foiled coup, including almost all higher ups of police force and senior cabinet ministers. An ending in which the secret service(and mr longcross) are in fact instrumental in saving the day. An ending explaining the many private meetings, both public and secretive, between them and Julia Montague.

Would have given it 5 stars, but the last minute twist spoilt it a little. Up until that point it was quite nearly the perfect tragedy.

Fun to watch, mediocre writing. A lot of the plot development is very coincidental and lucky--it's as if the characters don't make developments themselves, rather the writers decide where they want the story to go and the universe conspires to make it happen. Rather dissapointed, based on the ratings it got I hoped for more.

My family looked after my Uncle with Dementia... This movie hit hard. Eventually we also had to put him in a home. People don't realise how hard it is on everyone until they've experienced it. This movie give you a glimpse though. Anthony Hopkins is a spectacular actor, he held my attention from start. Well done to everyone involved. The only thing I didn't like was the way that the Daughter kept acting surprised or contradicting her father. This is honestly one of the worst ways to handle someone like that. Firm, but gentle and patient, is the way to go. This behaviour was conveyed well by the nurses but I find it hard to believe that she wouldn't figure it out over the years in which she cared for him.

Started out a little slow and 'on the nose' with messaging, but when it kicked off, boy did kick off!! I found myself laughing and cringing at the family dynamics that seemed so awfully familiar. Surprisingly the same film as firmly tugged at my heart strings near the end too. It's nice to see a story with genuinely good, yet still flawed, parents. Despite seemingly keeping it simple for younger viewers, it is clear that the writers have a good understanding of family dynamics.

Definitely a fun movie,I think the burlesque choreography scenes are definitely this films redeeming feature. but some of the acting was just awful...(I'm mostly talking about the half whispering, 'cool guy' boyfriend) . Christina was okay, but Cher's unmoving face kind makes it hard for her to carry scenes. Despite having more minor roles Stanley Tucci, Alan Cumming and Chelsea Traille definitely stole the spotlight in every scene they were in. Eric Dane was also good.

Honestly one of the best war films I have ever seen. Jarring, riveting and insightful. Not a 'fun' film, but a thoughtful one. They didn't "win" -- they survived.

3.5 stars! Good movie, enjoyable and with stellar performances from Bradley Cooper, Jeremy Renner, Christian Bale and Amy Adams. (Not J-law, which I will get into). Overall the I liked the idea and the "feel"/style of the film. Nonetheless I think that the story telling could have been implemented better--although I had no problem following the plot I felt as if the writers were purposefully trying to make the motivations of the characters confusing, At times the script was also quite humorous which was a great benefit to film. I felt that Jennifer Lawrence was miscast and it was hard to buy her character. Although she did nail a few scenes, next to the Mayor's wife it was painfully obvious that she was a hollywood actress playing a part very removed from her day to day life..
