Strong and Moving!

n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

How wonderful it is to see this fine actress carry a film and carry it so beautifully.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

First off this isn't an action movie it's a dark comedy first and foremost... ok this is a really slow movie I had to stop for a smoke break lol!! But it kept me interested as hell you have to watch this movie till the credits roll to understand why I said absolutely great movie if you can't you probably say you didn't like this movie or it was really slow well it is a slow movie but worth the reward!! Harry's awesome Charlize is outstanding & she also produced this movie along with a lot of other movies !! I'd pay to see Theron in pretty much anything so don't take my word on this watch for yourself & you be the judge!!! Debo2381

I was able to watch this movie at home on BluRay from my public library. The story mainly concerns a character played by David Oyelowo. He is Harold, a dedicated, serious, hard-working employee of a firm located in Chicago. His "best friend" runs the company, but as things unfold we see that his friend is duplicitous and will do anything for the bottom line.Harold goes to Mexico but finds out his company sale is imminent and he will be out of a job. Industriously he plots to fake his own kidnapping in an attempt to get a big severance for himself. $5Million sounds pretty good, doesn't it?Yet nothing goes as it should, the mess gets bigger and bigger. It is a dark comedy, lots of funny stuff but characters get shot and killed. While I enjoyed it as an interesting diversion, with very good actors, in total it isn't a particularly good movie.

I guess with that cast, it may sound strange to call it a little movie. But it's not a blockbuster and even with that cast, I don't think you can accuse the movie of having a big budget. Also the cast helps with the B-movie plot. It may feel uneven at times, but it is still fun to watch.The beginning is timeline wise not the beginning, but even so, I think many will be able to see through and be able to put things together (pieces of the puzzle), even before we get to that point in time. So I wouldn't really say there is a big element of surprise there. It still makes sense to have it structured that way. So enjoy this movie if you can, it is a fun ride

This film tells the story of an African American man, who becomes entangled in a big mess in Mexico during his work trip.It is a pleasure to watch the numerous faces in the film. Charlize Theron stands out because she continues to be beautiful but super tough. The large number of characters and the complex (for a comedy) plot can sometimes be hard to follow. I still enjoyed the film though.
