I know it seemed like I was gone for a minute, but these past few movies really gave me something to ponder about. But guess what we are back on track!! Lights, Camera, Action!!Jerry Shaw (Shia LaBeouf) and Rachel Holloman (Michelle Monoghan) have been somehow connected and realized that they have been framed as terrorist set-up to assasinate a politician. Amazing how one phone call can change your life for the worse and not the good as they would probably have hoped it to be. Both Jerry and Rachel's families are being threatened and put on the line in order to put a plan of attack into motion.
The film brings about many twists, unpredictable moments, and exciting thrills, although more fit for the IMAX theater. A jammed packed plot with a somewhat unrealistic plot, but I guess there's some action right. As the action escalates the interest level somewhat becomes depleted. Initially in the first 20 mins, I struggled to grapple with the film to keep my interest going, but nonetheless the action did help. As a matter of fact the the woman's voice on the other end of the phone definitely adds to the entertainment value and excitement of the movie.
It was a good attempt at trying to bring terrorism and technology into one to show how deadly they can be and at the same time make it an action-packed movie.
Grade: B-/C
