Stars Marion Cotillard and Brad Pitt. Was excited to read about this initially, but going by the trailer, it seems to fall a little flat. Still, I love Cotillard, I like Pitt and the story sounds interesting - I just hope it packs more punch than this one minute trailer:

I dont know if I would watch it again, but it was decent. There is somewhat of a twist in the plot, so they kind of have to keep that trailer vague like that to keep from spoiling anything. I wouldnt go out of your way to see this, but its worth a watch.

Yeah I wasn't terribly impressed with it. It looked great, and Marion Cotillard shines (as she does in everything she's been in). I thought Brad Pitt was fine, but his face was expressionless. Had me wondering if he's been getting work done.

The story was all over the place from memory. I, too, won't be watching it again any time soon.

One review of this I read said that it had one of the least excitingly-staged action sequences the reviewer could ever remember seeing.

I'm assuming that it was the mission at the start of the film? It was a bit flat.

Still, a glamorous Marion Cotillard firing a gun proves she's fit for a Bond girl role.

It was better than the critics (the majority of them anyway) claimed but it is far from a classic.

Like Kingcobra, I'm not sure if I would want to watch it again.
