Not great. It vascillates between decent action and slow meandering plot. Some smart dialogue coupled with some really dumb scenarios like Pine giving blood to his ops team partner and his friend magically recovers from being shot. Or the scientist working with terrorist money backing an "H1N1" vaccine. Right. Or Pine's friend walking right into the line of fire in a pivotal shoot-out. Pine and Co are convincing actors. Just not the best.

The story was very predictable. That was a waste of such a good cast of actors. Why is bad guys have Storm Trooper aim when someone's out in the open? Can we all start a campaign about the voice audio in movies nowadays, I could hardly hear any of the dialogue for most of the scenes, and this applies to many modern movies.

The acting was subpar, story was predictable and the scenes were poorly filmed. For an action thriller, the action was underwhelming. I do not recommend paying full price for this film, just wait and rip it off a site or something.
