Just a worst movie to waste your valuable time don't ever try to watch this movie

The only redeeming feature of this movie is Milla. I bought this movie because she and Pierce Brosnan are on the cover. It also listed Robert Forster (JACKIE BROWN), Angela Bassett, Roger Rees, and Dylan McDermott. I told myself that this has to be a good movie. Well, it is not, because the plot has holes in it that detract from watching the movie. Milla plays an embassy security agent that just got in from New York that is so bad ass that the marine snipers on the roof of the embassy know who she is. She is that hot shot security agent that broke up a terrorist attack in the US. If this is the case, why is she assigned to checking visa applications? The plot is so convoluted that it quickly becomes more and more unbelievable. At a certain point, when she has everyone against her and she infiltrates her way back into the embassy, the person I watch IMDb 250 movies with, demanded that we turn this movie off. He is a Milla Jojovich and Robert Forester fan, but Robert Forester had since exited the film and Milla cannot carry a bad movie all by herself, unless it is a Resident Evil movie. I love Angela Bassett, but the script called for her to play a character that I grew to dislike and hate. All of the characters, I grew to hate, except Milla, but again she could not carry this movie by herself.The plot line involves the use of a weapon that is tested in London, which causes huge destruction. The people take that weapon and smuggle it to the US. In the mean time, the US embassy believes that Milla is the person driving events forward. HOW THE HECK DOES AN EMBASSY SECURITY AGENT assemble and transport a weapon to the US, then set it up for detonation. Then she makes it from London to New York with everyone looking for her, and some how stumbles upon the location of the bomb and foils the plan -- unbelievable. It is more unbelievable that she is not just shot dead by the US anti-terror units. The ending is so contrived and I can only shake my head at how bad it is. How did Milla figure it all out?I went back and finished the movie and looked at the special features on the disk. I found out things, like this movie script has been floating around since the 1970s, which makes all of the sense in the world. No one wanted to finance this disaster -- until now. And the first actress that they asked to consider this roll turned them down, which brought in Milla. If I thought that the movie could not get any worse, I looked at the deleted scenes and I discovered, it could have been. The deleted scenes make for an even worse interpretation of the background, like what the real motivation for the McDermott character's belief structure, which was pure lust, not professional respect.The way the movie ends, the true evil character has not been addressed at all and for all you know is out there, ready to try it all again. In the cut scene, there is an unexplained helicopter that takes him out with a hell fire missile, along with his chauffeur and body guard as he is being driven over a bridge in London. London must have a high tolerance for bomb destruction.

SURVIVOR is a cookie-cutter modern-day thriller featuring non-actress Milla Jovovich in the lead role of a government worker who gets accused of crimes she didn't commit and who is subsequently forced to go on the run to clear her name. It's a story we've seen play out time and again in the likes of THE BOURNE IDENTITY and SALT, and indeed there's absolutely nothing new in the way of material here.Jovovich is one of my least favourite actresses, but at least she doesn't have time to emote here - she's too busy running around. The film's best element is Pierce Brosnan, cast against type as a cold-hearted assassin, and very good he is in the role too. Budget-wise, this is a middling story, with a number of CGI explosions and the like to keep it going, and some mildly suspenseful chase sequences which aren't too bad. It's not the type of film to set the world on fire, but if you're looking for something easy it might just do the job.

Terrorism is the driving force of the majority of espionage films that dive into the theaters every other month. It's gotten to the point that most political thrillers barely know any other plot device to get the action going.Survivor tells a similar story using domestic terrorism as the main plot device, but it does so in a much better way than most films in this genre. The events unfold in the typical manner, when army forces fighting in Afghanistan are put in jeopardy, which allows some backlash back home in the U.S and U.K. Meet our lead, Mila Jovovich as Kate Abbott, a security specialist attached to the U.S embassy in London. She is following intel received from her superiors when we meet her, and she seems likely to do a good job. During a typical day at work, she puts herself in the line of fire, and soon after finds herself a target of an exceptional hit-man known as "The Watchmaker" (Pierce Brosnan).I don't really see how this movie made any headway in the genre, as most of the events follow a very predictable chain of events. What did surprise me was the level of effort the director put into this film to make it seem somewhat believable. It does get a little ridiculous at times, when you just don't think that the lead can get herself into any more trouble, someone comes along to ruin her day. Lots of twists and turns throughout, but certain character motivations seem dubious at times.A nice little thriller to spend the evening, but don't expect too much.5/10
