This is a decent film, mostly about revenge and filled with action and car chases. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson plays a man who has just been released from prison and is out for revenge on those who have wronged him. That is the majority of the plot, but it is a good plot, and the cast and characters are good. The cast with Carla Gugino, Billy Bob Thornton, and The Rock makes for at least a decent cast, and they all do a pretty good jo with the material and the storylines. I enjoyed the car chases, the shootings, and the action scenes, and a revenge story is always a good one. You will be rooting for The Rock's character all the way!

This movie had a decent plot and setup with a decent concept with a young girl who was kidnapped eight years ago and new evidence comes up that she is still alive. Ryan Reynolds, the investigating officer, looks into it. The concept of alternating between the years on timeline is intriguing and might keep the viewers hooked, and the plot is a good one, but it could involve a better execution. I liked the idea of setting all the time in the winter months and all the snowing and winter scenes and Ryan Reynolds and the kidnapped girl's characters, but the movie was just ok overall. Give it a try-you might like it.

This was a decent movie about Kevin Costner playing an agent in Europe. He learns that he is dying of brain cancer, his family is there, and that he had one last assignment. He tries to handle everything. Like the movie, he is mostly successful in handling everything. I enjoyed the action scenes and the scenes of Costner trying to reconnect with his daughter, and the bike scenes were priceless, and I liked the final scene. Amber Heard's character was a decent addition. I think the title was appropriate, because if you have some time to kill, this might be the movie for you if you are a Kevin Costner fan.
