I liked Brad Pitt before watching this (and yes I had never seen this before, which amazed me a bit myself), but the amount of work he obviously put into this, with the accent and all that - incredible. Harrison Ford plays the good strong american guy, who you know is the savior and all that stuff. Some may find this a bit too much and may feel other flaws appearing here.
Overall it is an engaging story and Brad Pitt gives the character some layers that he needs. It would be tough otherwise to remotely feel anything for him. But will he be able to escape his past or his future? He has a clear objective, but it becomes also clear that it ain't that easy to follow through with it. And then there is police work in general and other stories that intertwine. Overall they work and add to the tension of the movie and the characters arc - some may feel different of course, feel this is a bit convoluted. That'll be in the eyes of the beholder ...
