    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      When Henry Cavill turned up on set, he had just finished shooting Immortals (2011) and came sporting an extremely muscular and ultra-ripped physique. Director Mabrouk El Mechri told him that he had to play an ordinary man and that his current body would be completely wrong for the character. Henry Cavill had to lose all the muscle tone and mass that he gained over the previous six months to get his body to look like that of an average man. He did it by eating and drinking a lot and not working out.

      Will: I used to run a small company.

      Lucia: And what did your small company do?

      Will: Business consultants.

    5/10
    Started off fairly promising, but faltered in the latter half.
    The start to this movie was pretty decent, but a series of not that great twists, mediocre action scenes, and very lackluster ending made for a pretty underwhelming experience.
