[Blown Away] is the kind of movie that people should be sentenced to see if they complain that Speed is implausible.

It’s impossible to take this seriously, even with “The Troubles” informing the tale.

The movie's quieter moments... give audiences the time to ponder the film's almost ludicrous, contrived plot.

...engrossing subject matter that’s employed to mostly first-class effect by Hopkins...

It was alright, but I just kept thinking 'Patriot Games is better'. TLJ should avoid accents, that's for sure. It felt like it lagged, so should needed a tighter direction
