Goofs

At Vienna station, when looking at the trains to the Czech Republic, there are numerous errors. In the case of the train to Prague, the destination is shown as 'Prague Bahnhof'. In German, it should be 'Prag Bahnhof'. Similarly, another destination is shown as 'Czech Budejovice' - this should be 'Ceske Budejovice' (in Czech). The 'train' to Usti nad Labem stops at 2 bus stations (Znojmo autobusove and Florenc, Prague) rather than at train stations. Litomerice horni (nadrazi) is a tiny station on a branch line and would never have a direct connection to Vienna. Moreover, all these trains supposedly leave within minutes of each other.

User Reviews

Cheesy writing with lame humor but still fun only because of Kunis

Mila Kunis saved this film as best as she could and was way more funnier and entertaining (also not a comic) than comedian Kate McKinnon who was stale, annoying and "a little too much". The writing and humor were lame but some fairly decent action scenes. Enjoyable if you're bored and have nothing else to watch. 6/10 from me.
