POSITIVES…
How's this for a movie? An American man is on the run in Greece. He doesn't know why he is being hunted. It's a mystery.
Foreign man finds himself in trouble in a foreign land? Scary situation.
It gets more intriguing as the story moves along.
I like the fact that they didn't translate the Greek spoken in the movie, it only adds to the suspense and suspicion to everyone Beckett meets.
The political aspect of the story is interesting.
Conclusion to the story did satisfy me.
Captures the country of Greece in a beautiful way. Fantastic location for this film.
John David Washington is great here, and is perfectly confused and vulnerable as Beckett.
Vicky Krieps is a welcome addition to the cast.
Gotta say, Alicia Vikander is absolutely adorable as April.
The wrong man, at the wrong place. Time tested premise indeed.
NEGATIVES…
It is indeed a familiar premise.
The first 28 mins might make some people impatient. Some will argue that the whole movie will make you impatient.
Not exactly the most exciting thriller.
There's a plot reveal that's just too ridiculously predictable.
Third act will require you to greatly suspend your disbelief.
At certain points John David Washington somehow acts like he is in one of his other roles in his more action oriented movies.
"I can take that off if you'd like." Yeah, no kidding!
