Operating alone in the field for more than 20 years, a CIA hitman (Aaron Eckhart) uses the "Help Wanted" section of the newspapers to get his orders from the Agency. His long-lost daughter (Abigail Breslin), now a UK MI6 analyst, tracks him down to deliver shocking news: his CIA boss (Tim Roth) has been dead for years and the division long since shut down. Together, they set out to discover whose orders he's been executing.

There is shockingly bad dialogue and a lot of extras waiting to fall over dead as Eckhart’s killer for hire finds all is not what it seems.

Rated: 2/5

Unfortunately, this film has too many problems to warrant a recommendation.

Classified is a film that feels like it had no ambitions, no goal beyond “making a film”. There is a story, it’s on the screen, but that is about all there is to say about it.

Cinemalogue

Solid portrayals and scenic visual backdrops can’t save this derivative thriller, in which some character-driven intrigue is overwhelmed by generic action and nondescript villains.

Ultimately, Classified plays out like the body GPS Shaw is equipped with by his handlers. It works well in the beginning, and it is fun to watch him go through the motions, but once he goes off-mission, things go sideways, never to recover.

A slew of action thriller clichés, logy fight choreography, dull pew-pew shootouts and a miscast Abigail Breslin.

Pure dreck. The premise is intriguing, but then the casting, acting and dialogue utterly suffocate it. I like Aaron Eckhardt, but he's unpersuasive here. The fat twinkie cast as an MI-6 agent who inexplicably figures out who he is and then tracks him down is so godawful bad she singlehandedly destroys the movie. Well, almost singlehandedly--the dialogue is so sophmoric and cringe worthy that it's neck and neck between the two of them for "worst" honors. Then there's Tim Roth--why is he in this??? Its so far beneath him. I could go on, but it isn't worth it. Be sure to miss this one.

I cannot believe just how bad a movie could be - this is on par with Travolta in 'Battlefield Earth' and trust me when I say that is no compliment. This movie stands as an outstanding example of how not to make a movie.

This was probably the worst movie I have seen in years. Story, plot, acting, writing, everything was horrible. It was so bad I watched it just to see if it could get worse. I never write reviews but this needed to be written to warn people they can't unwatch it.

So bad. Makes no sense. Huge plot holes. Bad action scenes, terrible acting. Just a very bad film all round Seems like it was made by a 5 year old

Monumentally bad. Action scenes were disjointed and even more obviously play acted than any wrestling event. There seemed to be an attempt at quirky comedy which failed to be in any way funny. There was emotional parts that I did not care about and the story was pretty floppy. There where a couple of bits that were outstanding in their insanity. A few of the gunfights were basically old world sword and shield infantry charges, but with guns. Two groups were just walking at one another firing with gusto, and just mowing each other down. Then there was a car chase where, admittedly the lead pulled a good move. Then inexplicably they were right on him again, like they just reloaded at the last save. Eli Roth could not save this.

Id give this a miss. Got as far as the first 20 mins and gave up. Action scenes were so poorly done and zero dialogue makes this film a time waster.
