In every movie there is an expectation to suspend disbelief..to an extent. This one asks you to shut off any relations you have with common sense or cognitive thought. Anthony Hopkins (he is fab, but over the top) character...a real baddie, but ultra powerful, stand up business man, famous, squeaky clean...is suddenly popping people and brandishing a gun in a gas station..in Germany...Germany!...where there is probably a camera or two. Like his henchman (who we assume is highly trained & paid) thinks it is a genius idea to run around a Subway station brandishing a gun...and shooting it in the air..in....wait for it..Germany......AGAIN there is probably a few cameras & cops around. Then there is the empty eyed hero...I counted 3 times in the film where he gets lucky flailing around and grabbing something that saves him. I was bored and watched it, felt compelled to write this....did the Producers assume people have gotten really stupid? they had a budget and two amazing actors. They decided to make a film about a dummy getting chased by villains who make stupid mistakes. Instead of saying "ok, we got the guy from Sexy Beast...let's shoot for that level"
