a CIA agent, she was on the run after being busted as being a Russian spy. using all her skills n experience, she had to outrun her pursuers. complication made the film intense n entertaining; however, it was the exact complication that made the ending very much irresponsible n disappointing, with us leaving the cinema feeling deceived after all the anticipation.
some backgrounds on the movie:
- director: Phillip Noyce
- released: 2010
- casts: Angelina Jolie, Liev Schreiber, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Daniel Olbrychski, August Diehl, Hunt Block, Olek Krupa
- language: English
- genre: Action/Thriller
I couldn't figure out how the story should end while watching this movie too. However, there's probably no better ending than letting her escape from the impossible situation in which she had put herself into.
ReplyDeleteThe whole world has no clue what was going on nor what her true intention was besides the african CIA guy. It comes down to the two ultimate alternatives which is letting her end up spend the rest of her life in jail or letting her escape the way she did. The latter sounds nicer to me :P
I miss you, Princess, and when I say I do, I really do miss you T_T
ReplyDeletePerhaps she is a double agent? :D
ReplyDelete"irresponsible ending" that's a good way to put it.. but it really didn feel like it's gonna end.
ReplyDeleteBarbie:
ReplyDeletethat make sense. i was guessing maybe adding a few more scenes of her settling down might help settling Us down. i felt like they were planning a sequel, depending on the reaction as well. they really could do better than that, all those actions, all those "godly" acts put together, they really could be more responsible to us viewers, especially after all those anticipation! i miss you too, barbie. am very glad to have you around again! :)
Tekkaus:
she sure felt like it. everyone seemed to be a double agent in this movie. :p
Lister:
they were probably testing to see if the reaction was good enough for a sequel. n for that we were left hanging!
我在想，几时会有" Sugar " 的电影
ReplyDeleteSounds like another movie that keeps the audience in suspense and guessing. I like the intrigue of the movie. Angelina Jolie is good for this type of role.
ReplyDeletei wanted to watch this movie but after reading the reviews i changed my mind for i don't want to waste my time and money. ugh .. and i thought there IS a good movie to catch.. maybe i should watch despicable me. HA.
ReplyDeleteRYC: yes i'm one hell metal human. well .. i'm dead tired but sometimes i feel every minute is very precious and i should really maximise my time. and sometimes these friends of mine make time just to yumcha with me so that's why i cannot say no to them.
令狐火野:
ReplyDelete要靠你了吧。:p
RoseBelle:
she must be used to this type of action movies by now. other than the ending, the rest of the movie was indeed fast-paced enough to be interesting. :)
renaye:
maybe you really should catch despicable me instead. i wasn't able to catch it in the cinema in time, n heard that it is a good animation to catch! :)
looks like an interesting plot. i'll look forward to watching it.

ReplyDeleteif you don't mind the ending, the rest of it was pretty much entertaining. :)
