I was waiting to watch this film.
This Film was Horrible.
Pros: I give credit to myself for watching this one again before reviewing it. Michelle Monaghan looks very physical to get in to shape for this role and Jay Courtney did well playing a cocky douchebag.
Cons: I didn’t feel any excitement or danger when it was going on. Jason Clarke’s Acting talent was wasted. The main storyline got so messy when the film was moving along and the ending just ends abruptly.
The Casts:
- Jason Clarke as Hatchet Meyers, a high-value detainee
- Michelle Monaghan as Abigail “Abby” Trent, a CIA PsyOps officer and Citadel second in command
- Jai Courtney as Raymond Miller, a CIA contractor and former 1st Battalion marine
- Pallavi Sharda as Tessa Harijan, a CIA officer, and translator
