User ReviewsThere's nothing like Knowing!

15 March 2009 | by chodebalm-1 (United States) – See all my reviews

First of all, yes I did see this movie, and no I'm not much of a talker when it comes todiscussing and reviewing movies. Therefore, I will keep it short and simple.

Nicholas Cage's movies have lately been a lot of action flicks that may or may not seem likemovies we've all seen before. This one, however, brings a new fresh feeling to this genre.

I think we've all seen the whole "I see it coming" type of movie where the main character hasto prevent something from happening. This is one of those, and yet it isn't. It doesn't boreyou, it doesn't make you feel like you've seen it before, and yet you have a comfortability withit that intrigues you throughout.

I found myself quite entertained and the movie didn't lose my attention or have me checkingmy watch. Good direction and acting. Nicholas Cage does a good job.

I believe anyone who sees this movie will enjoy it for what it is. Go see it, it's a fun flick!
