Critic score: 31/100 - User score: 8.8/10 - High Jackman, Michelle WIlliams, and Ewan McGregor all in the same movie. That's a stacked cast, so why don't I remember this movie? Because the critics wanted to bury it, that's why! Maybe that's conspiracy-theorist-ish, but I feel a little crazy today so who cares. It's a movie about a normal guy who gets dragged into the world of high-level corporate espionage. People love those stories because most people work in a shitty corporate job. It's the most realistic fantasy for them. Getting sucked into a tornado and ending up on the yellow brick road is ridiculous, however, stealing some files at work, that's realistic.
What critics said: "An overwrought and ultimately silly thriller." Sometimes I'm in the mood for a silly thriller, or even a silly 'Thriller.' That's Michael Jackson's 'Thriller' video except instead of a werewolf he turns into a poodle.
