It had some good potential and pretty cool space visuals but ultimately fell short due to the flimsy story and suspect acting (Anna Kendrick as a doctor/astronaut).
I started watching and kept waiting for something to happen or someone to get naked. I didn't make it to the end; I just found it hard to believe that there wasn't a backup for the broken part and no explanation of how the stowaway ended up where he was.
Read the ending on wikipedia and glad that I didn't watch it to the end. [Reply]
I think I remember somebody commenting on this, saying it sucked. But I watched it last night, and thought it was pretty entertaining. Not a blockbuster, but definitely worth a watch. The dialogue was pretty clunky for the first 30-45 minutes. But once it picked up, the action was great. Kind of a John Wick vibe.

I need to find the time to sit down and watch it.
Without Remorse is one of my favorite books, and just from watching the trailer it looks like they butchered the fuck out of it. The original story was set during the Vietnam War, the girl who was killed was a junkie whore that he was helping to get clean/turn her life around, and the bad guys were her pimps/drug dealers using the coffins of KIA troops to smuggle heroin into the country.
I think if I watch this it will only make me really angry. Like Dune angry. :-) [Reply]

Clancy must be spinning in his grave right now.
I'm not familiar with the book so can't really compare.
I honestly wish I had more to say about what specifically I didn't like about the movie but the reality is that it was just boring. Felt like I was watching a Wednesday night CBS action show. [Reply]

The book is fantastic. You should read it. [Reply]

I enjoyed the hell out of it. So much so that I watched it again the next day.
