Looks pretty damn cool. Owen looks right for the part, and it just seems like an interesting crime-thriller.

Owen has never appealed to me - but film does look interesting I admit.

Owen is kinda like Harrison Ford, good in a certain kind of role, mostly playing the same kind of character (or they all seem the same), and when the role is well written, he'll do a good job.

Clive Owen is nothing like Harrison Ford, he's almost always so bland. He was pretty good in Elizabeth: The Golden Age though.

Harrison Ford can play a believable everyday man in a not-so-ordinary situation. Ford isnt a great actor.

Same goes for Clive Owen. In certain roles he's very capable, but it's pretty much the same performance for every role he does. Nothing really wrong with that. The same can be said of Denzel Washington in most of his movies. Not a whole lot of variation. That doesnt mean he's BAD. However, a good/great actor can really shine in most movies, even if the script (or his/her part) isnt all that well written. Actors like Owen, Ford, and to a lesser degree Washington, are pretty much dependent of the script they have, in order to be able to 'shine', or fail.

Ford is a good actor IMO.

Meh it looks okay. It looks like your average thriller, we've all seen a million times before. You didn't say Watts was in it, now she is a decent actor.

Denzel Washington is a great actor.
