    Least gripping action film of the year

    Aaron Eckhart is generally a pretty great actor, and Tim Roth used to have some amazing roles in films, but Classified has really let them both down. The script and dialog sound like it was written by a 14 year old film student, and the acting from every other cast member other than the aforementioned actors is appalling. Abigail Breslin and Brandon Lessard let this film down no end. The acting from Brandon Lessard is especially poor, and the story line that follows his character is non existent.

    The only redeeming feature is the cinematography is fairly good, and its great they shot so much of it on location in Malta.

    Worst screen writing and acting ever seen

    The worst screen writing and acting I've seen in at least the past 20 years. Not worth the time to press the play button. Just terrible terrible, terrible, terrible! And it's ridiculous that it requires me to write a minimum of 600 words for this review to even be accepted - but if you must... I love Actor Eckart but even he must have been embarrassed by day 3 of production on the horrible writing and lack of quality plot! The fighting was totally unrealistic, but the plot was even worse - disconnected, confusing and illogical. The movie seemed to be in slow motion and overdramatizing every single screen.

    "Maybe this is a wake up call, of sorts"

    Yeah, nope!

    One of the dullest "action thrillers" I've seen in recent memory. One that is easy to follow.. but maybe too easy! With a strange and lethargic pacing that makes the first 20 minutes feel like an hour! A dull and lackluster execution, and a storyline that hardly goes anywhere. It's so underwritten it almost feels like a mystery!! As that expected layer of depth or a message is strangely missing. This is a Saban film through and through! With their level of 'effort' being all too present. It's as if the film was made on autopilot, coasting on bland tropes to fill in the space. If the sluggish pace doesn't lull you to sleep, the slow, melodic music just might. The action scenes could be skipped completely, as they don't help move the story forward.. much less keep your attention on the screen. Even worse, you could watch this on mute, and take away as much as I did trying to pay attention.

    Don't even think about it.. it's not worth your time.

    This movie is atrocious

    The plot (if you actually consider it such) has holes big enough to sail an oil tanker through. A top notch hitman goes off course and is not in the slightest interested how his boss can call him on a payphone next to him?

    The action sequences are numerous, but absolutely unrealistic. Bad guys with machine guns can't hit stationary targets, but the good guy is able to use a shotgun like a sniper rifle?

    I have seen better character development in B class porn flicks. How they got Eckart and Roth to participate in such drivel is beyond me.

    If i could give this movie a minus score i would gladly do so.

    Only watch the first 20 minutes

    After 20 minutes, this film nosedives into the ground and slowly implodes, leaving another 80 minutes of predictable dross.

    It starts out as a stylish thriller, but the script, and the 'by the numbers plot' let it down, as does the terrible, terrible casting. Tim Roth hasn't done a decent film in almost a decade and is pretty embarrassing in this. The less said about Abigail Breslin, the better. She is a disaster.

    This is probably the only film you'll see which has a sniper sequence where the sniper 'hides' in a pool of light. The chief bad guy is pretty funny with his massive GPS screen somehow tracking Eckhart's every move until the plot requires "he must be somewhere that hasn't got a good GPS signal".

    The action scenes are boring; John Wick lite.

    I have to give him some credit though. Roel Reine did a good job with the cinematography and the soundtrack.

    • Goofs
      All henchmen fired weapons without needing to change magazines once. Most of the time their ear pieces tubes were not connected to anything. Grenades don't blow up with massive fireballs. Assassins don't bring attention to themselves by burning documents in hotel rooms. And, you'd think a highly trained killer operating in Europe would blend in by reading his encrypted message in a local paper rather than than one written in English all the time.
