I saw this today. It wasn't as good as I thought it was going to be and I've just read the DS review and I agree that it does run out of steam.

However, I thought Ben Affleck was really good in his role and Justin still impresses me with his acting. I just don't think the potential for the film was quite met.

    Probably one of the poorest films I've seen this year.Never mind ran out of steam,it never got going IMO!Must of the budget was spent on location.No action scenes at all.
    And I just didn't care what happened to Justin Timberlake's character
    If you're thinking of seeing a film give this a miss and go and see Prisoners.

    I've only seen the trailer but I had to laugh at Ben Affleck being the big baddie.

    In the trailer he just didn't look very menacing at all. Sometimes villians don't have to be but he didn't look sinister or have any gravitas that would make someone scared of him.

    I think Justin worked well. He's quite good at getting the audience to like him.

    It looks like it's flopping badly at the box office.

    Seems to be a lack of promotion for it.

    Was quite empty at the cinema.

    I found it a good watch.

    Justin Timberlake doesn't appear to have much luck in the movie industry.
