I went in to see this movie without having watched the trailers. That was a bad move. The film started slow and boring. The dialogue was poorly written and the plot was poorly explained. Although the plot wasn't well explained, the bad guy in the film was so obvious that there was absolutely no suspense. The actors chosen for the parts are actually the only highlight of the film, but that is about it. The movie is kind of a 24"ish" movie but doesn't even come close to any of the chapters of that series.
*****SPOILERS NEXT!!! Don't READ IF YOU Don't WANT TO BE SPOILED!!*** The lamest part of the movie is actually the supposed climax, where the president is evacuated from the G8 meeting. The sad part is that the "bad guys" are just 4 guys, so the supposedly "super plot" to kill the president is just plain stupid and laughable. **** SPOILERS END****
So the bottom line is, if you want to see this movie, rent it, or even better, wait for it when it's played on the cable. A very lackluster movie. If you want thrills and government plots and a lot of action and tension, better go and grab a season of 24, hell, any chapter alone of that series will beat this movie.
Almost didn't get the "average" 5 score (should be lower, but the actors helped a little).
