"The story is about diving into the sun. Likewise it starts slow and easy, everything is just fine and nice. Slowly tension builds up, people and events get nervous until everything reaches unbelieable chaotic state just before the end.Lots of references to Solaris (the better one), 2001 Space Odyssey, Alien and Event Horizon. Pleasure to watch, even though it's not the easiest one. The audience is required to think during the movie! " [More]

"Quite a surprise movie. A story about accident and recovery doesn't sound like much, but this might have been one of the best for this year in Action & Thrillers category. The characters are overacting just about right, making them more real and personal than what usually is possible in just one movie.There are a lot of loose ends in the story, hope there will be a sequal. The bad guy got immediately into my hall of fame! Well, two of them actually. " [More]

"Now this is the way to turn comics to movies! Take it seriously enough, but don't forget the comical elements, and you have a great comedy which is thrilling to see! You can't but laugh to the bad guys and still have to sit at the edge of your chair. I need to see this again :) " [More]

"Not as good as the first one, but it's still good in different category: more like a normal agent action thriller. Good action scenes, great car chases, good ending. The confused man from part 1 is almost gone now, but there's enough of him left (or missing) to add a nice human touch. " [More]

"Good solid thriller and agent movie. Not only because the book was so good, but because it's underplayed when compared to normal current agent explosive movies. Bourne Identity is a careful movie, not quite sure where it's going or what it's doing - just like a man with amnesia is supposed to be! There are fast action moments, but fortunately only when needed. " [More]

"All around positive movie, spoiled by a horrible title. Actually it might be a bit too cute. Those things and tricks, which main characters are doing to each others, would be awful in real life - but not so in this movie. Nevertheless nice entertaining moment for an evening with nothing else to do. Not sure what the message was, but it doesn't really matter. " [More]

"Technically great movie, truly amazing scenes and moments. Those are worth watching several times! However the overall feeling I got was depressing and non-caring. Maybe that was what the director/writers wanted, to get me more inside the world without future. Maybe they didn't want me to dare to care about main characters even at the very end. Well, they succeeded. Still a good movie and requires a second chance! " [More]

"I'm a fan of Philip K. Dick, science fiction and also Nicholas Cage. Of course I liked the movie. Besides it was a good one!Compared to others, for example Deja Vu, this was more fun, more real, more plausible, more thrilling and more enjoyable. There was some things that disturbed a bit: magic tricks and why didn't he do those when in need, those looks at camera etc. Minor issues, but could have been clearer before filming. Nevertheless a movie worth watching a second time. " [More]

"Great camera work, enourmous explosions, good music well fitted to film, huge machines and big guns. Just missing a solid story, but who cares! Excellent choice to spend an evening or two with! ...oh, sexy cars and fast girls, too! Catchy one-liners, great views, some international politics but in a good way... There are so many details you miss the first time, so you just HAVE to watch this again =) I will !!! " [More]

"I've seen this twice now and believe that I'll watch it again. It's completely non-violent, quite peaceful movie about almost the worst that can happen in normal (work / family) life with still a humourous touch.The good guys are not too good, the bad guys are not too bad, things happen and life just goes on. Everybody just tries to hang on and survive.Btw it's interesting to compare this to another similar but older movie: Other People's Money (1991). This one is more realistic, but still funny. I'm really looking forward the year 2017 movie! " [More]

"This movie is about a romantic stock dealer, innocent lawyer and old stubborn patriot. It was funny, when I saw it for the first time and now, after internet bubble and survival, it's even more humorous! Especially Danny DeVito is great and his key speach at stock holder meeting is amazing. Danny DeVito - You gotta love the guy! " [More]
