initial expectations

(3) The trailers looked pretty good. And I like Jamie Foxx's work so I wanted to see this movie.t had its fast and slow moments. But it was good enough to keep me interested.

(3) A funny Foxx in an Enemy of the State-like situation...hmmm... shows promise?

pace

(3) It had its fast and slow moments. But it was good enough to keep me interested.

(3) Surprisingly, it wasn't as fast paced as I thought. Mind you, it's still a decent brisk jog that keeps you motivated to keep on watching...

plot/story

(4) At first I thought it was too much like Enemy of the State. But it turned out to be better.

(3) The story was pretty good, except for the ending. The plot did exceed the entertainment value of Enemy of the State, but not by much.

cast/acting

(4) Jamie Foxx was really funny. And the rest of the cast wasn't bad, either.

(5) If the story was okay, the cast and characters were excellent! Very strong and tense! Great characterization!

good stuff

(4) You get action, sex, and suspense. It's all good!

(3) Cool ultra-tech gadgetry but...sigh...no hotties, a sex-scene on the side, and just a little blood.

overall

(4) Funny, entertaining, and action-packed. Go see it!

(3) An interesting movie but nothing stellar. The best thing about the movie are the three lead actors and the characters they played.
