I admittedly do not like action movies to begin with, but I somehow thought the cast sounded good. Boy was I ever wrong! I kinda realized after a few minutes that recording this was a big mistake. What utterly ridiculous garbage!! Not even the fact that it is set in my home country of Germany makes this bearable. Shame about all those nice cars!!!
... View MoreAn American backpacker gets involved with a ring of drug smugglers as their driver, though he winds up on the run from his employers across Cologne high-speed Autobahn. Collide was even worse than i expected i mean if you hated Ben Kingsley in Iron Man 3? in here? he is 10 times worse. Hopkins also doesn't fit well for me in this kind of film and the romance between Hoult and Jones was so bland. The action was even worse and the direction was terrible don't waste any time or money on this.
... View MoreIn every movie there is an expectation to suspend disbelief..to an extent. This one asks you to shut off any relations you have with common sense or cognitive thought. Anthony Hopkins (he is fab, but over the top) character...a real baddie, but ultra powerful, stand up business man, famous, squeaky clean...is suddenly popping people and brandishing a gun in a gas station..in Germany...Germany!...where there is probably a camera or two. Like his henchman (who we assume is highly trained & paid) thinks it is a genius idea to run around a Subway station brandishing a gun...and shooting it in the air..in....wait for it..Germany......AGAIN there is probably a few cameras & cops around. Then there is the empty eyed hero...I counted 3 times in the film where he gets lucky flailing around and grabbing something that saves him. I was bored and watched it, felt compelled to write this....did the Producers assume people have gotten really stupid? they had a budget and two amazing actors. They decided to make a film about a dummy getting chased by villains who make stupid mistakes. Instead of saying "ok, we got the guy from Sexy Beast...let's shoot for that level"
... View MoreOMG! This is THE most under-rated, under-marketed movie ever! 2 old guys with blockbuster flawless convincing performances (thank you Sirs) + a fabulous, sexy, exhilarating performance by the soon to be "A-list" youngsters, and I NEVER HEARD A WORD ABOUT THIS MOVIE UNTIL I WATCHED IT! SHAME! WATCH!!! Think about what you would be willing to do for love while you watch this, and how many times it might all become nevermore! Thrilling! I would have rated this as a 10 if it had been marketed and put out there in mass media! Shame!!! All of the negative reviews seem to be from those who are enthralled by names, not substance, and missed the point of the reality for these characters. Woo hoo, "autobahn, Hopkins, Kingsley," but stopped at the name, and did not see the depth and the substance. Listen, don't watch, or at least don't review movies if characters who risk everything don't move you! Seriously, you feckless putz, what have you ever risked for anything?!? Yeah, right, I thought so!!!
