This film is a good example of someone having an intriguing concept and using it to make a safe, generic thriller that has some interesting bits, but is ultimately a little bland. It has an all star cast featuring Kevin Costner, Ryan Reynolds, Gary Oldman, Tommy Lee Jones etc. So there's no real problems on the acting front and I really liked when Costner's character Jericho was an utter prick, but most of the movie feels like it's on autopilot with lots of cliche's thrown in. It's not terrible though and still somewhat enjoyable overall, just a an OK forgettable thriller. Though it does pose a great question 'Who punches someone in a patisserie?'**1/2
