674938, one of the best action movies i've seen in a long time

just finished watching this film and i'm going to strongly recommend it to everyone. i didn't know much about it going in, and frankly i didn't really like boon's earlier movies, but this one was very enjoyable. good storytelling and character development, the action scenes are tense and well done, and the whole movie is suspenseful and engaging.

i'm not a big fan of chris evans, but i thought he was pretty good in this except for a closing monologue. tilda, hurt, and the rest of the supporting cast were all great. the music was good, the set pieces were cool, just an all around strong film that i would definitely put in my top 10 for 2013.

i had a few minor gripes, and the version (126 minutes btw) i saw didn't have subtitles for the non-english speaking characters, but i urge everyone to see this and spread the word.
