Alex, a mysterious thief, is pulled in by her former partner for one last heist. She quickly finds it was never just about the diamonds. A brutal murder sparks a cat and mouse chase between Alex and a master assassin. Now she must uncover the lies behind the heist and discover the secrets behind the men who have made her a target. Momentum is a better action film that it might got credit for with both Olga and James Purefoy being excellent in their roles and even Morgan Freeman's role was decent enough, the action was quite well directed and the plot was interesting enough for me. Overall a decent enough action film with a well known and talented cast that does a great job. (7/10)
I am already starting to question the acting ability of some of the actors and I am only 10 minutes into the movie. If you are going to have a budget of 20 million, at least hire a casting agent. Colin Moss needs to learn how to act. His performance grating.Olga Kurylenko is easy to watch and her role as a tough thief allows her to be tough and no-nonsense. She will keep me watching it.Stay tunes for Review Part2.Waiting for James Purefoy to show up. James and Olga should sizzle, even if he is the bad guy.2nd part of review after finishing the movie. They wasted a lot of quality actors on a poorly written script. The movie is so empty, that they had to fill it with chatty dialog so we would be on the edge of our seats, waiting for the next round of dialog to break up the violence. Too bad. Even Morgan Freeman and James Purefoy couldn't save this mess.And they left it hanging, so there can be a sequel. Tell me it isn't so.
Oh Lordy Lordy what turkey this was. Only bothered to watch this coz of Morgan. The first few seconds with his voice over sets up a kewl vibe where you reach for a brew and blunt and get comfy in the lazy boy and then nothing but corn camp villain with English public school accent (coz we all know the British are up to no good) fighting it out with a pathetic flat ass hero whose pretty face has one expression BLAND! Even the action scenes couldn't stop me from adjusting my lazy boy to sleep mode. It's 2016 and our standards are high from Bourne Conspiracy and a zillion Kung Fu movies. The action scenes here are like the 1970's cop films, OK back then but well stale now. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME!! if you're going to watch cheezy cliché crap make it bearable at least and do a 50 Cent straight to video move at least my man has swagger which always goes well with a brew and blunt.
Every action movie needs a macguffin. A macguffin is the reason everyone is running around killing each other. It's nice if when you finally learn the macguffin it carries some value and sense of reality that fits into the film and makes all the action and mayhem seem worthwhile. Unfortunately, the ending in this movie is both incredibly stupid and utterly ridiculous. It amazes me how many movies can be destroyed in the last five minutes and this is one of them. The writers, director and producers should be ashamed of themselves. On the plus side all the actors are really good. Olga Kurylenko is particularly cool. The action is good. But then there's the ending and you feel like you've wasted 90 minutes of your time and want to take a shower to wash the stupidity out of your head.
