Review:
I didn't have many expectations going into the movie, after reading the plot. And I definately wasn't impressed after seeing the movie, either.

Not my type of movie. Way too fictional, why not a "normal" assassination instead of a missile to blow up the entire hotel??? Ehhh......

Anyways - the movie wasn't that good. The actors are okay, but the plot is horrible. I didn't dislike that it was on an airplane and all that, it was the whole assassination thing that annoyed me. It dragged on at the end, it should have ended when she found her father alive in the house. The whole Jack-chasing-her-around-the-house-for-15-minutes was really annoying. :/

Good points:
1. Cillian Murphy, from 28 Days Later, did an excellent job as an actor.
2. It was VERY short.
