    Looks terrible, and I can't stand Angelina Jolie.

    From the Lives of Others to this? Shame on you Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck!

    Too many of these 'male and female duo action movies' around, with the likes of The Killers, Duplicity, Knight & Day etc... Good director, so might surprise, but that trailer definitely doesn't sell it.

    Angelina and Johnny look like they're phoning in their usual performances, there's too much hype, not enough substance with this one! I may be wrong, but from the looks of the trailer, I don't think I am!

    It looks like it's trying to be fast and zippy and fun, a bit of a caper movie. Jolie and Depp seem like bad casting for this- neither of them seem charming enough here. Based on the trailer I'll be giving it a miss.

    Plus it's weird seeing Depp play a normal human being after his last few roles!

    Underwhelming trailer, I agree. And the story has been done a million times before. But I still think this might be fun, if even just for Depp. Von Donnersmarck is co-credited for the screenplay as well. Trailers are sometimes misleading. I won't write this one off just yet.

    Another of those trailers that gives too much away, I think. Using Muse was bizarre, I imagined they'd use the Radiohead song of the same name (from OK Computer). Helluva cast, though, with Steven Berkoff playing another baddie. I think this is how he raises money for his more Arty projects. :p

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    That's a joke, right?

    I can't see how that song would work for a film like this.

    I don't think it would "work" either, but that never stopped Hollywood before. ;)

    I enjoyed it too ,far better than the reviews give it credit for.
    There was great chemistry between Jolie and Depp in this thriller (penned by the writer of the Usual Suspects) .
    Jolie actually looked beautiful in it unlike Salt where she resembled a stick insect.
    Its a bit over the top like Knight and Day from earlier this year but it kept me entertained.

    i really liked this movie, although it was a bit too long and the trailer i saw before hand made this look like an action movie which it is not, but would definitely recommend
