From watching the previews I thought this movie was going to be non stop action suspense, etc. However about 45 minutes into it I was bored to death. You pretty much can figure the whole thing out very quickly into the movie. Still with some decent suspense scenes, a plot that you can figure out but sill at times makes you second guess it was worth going and seeing. Anyways it was still a good plot, and one of Schumachers more interesting creations. I give it a 4/5. On a side note if you watch this you probably will start trying to relate your life to the movie, and I did. Randomly my birthday is 11/12 which 11+12=23, then on the way out of the movie my gf goes “What time is it?” I looked at my watch and go “9:14” and everyone around us leaving mumbles 23… and glances at their watch (9+14=23) it was kinda funny. But yeah go watch it or download it, it’s worth checking out in the theatre at you get to see some kick ass up and coming previews. ---
