Plot holes: After the spotter (Peter) gets hit by a bus, Bryan contacts Jean-Claude to give him the next clue. But he forgets about the black guy, the spotter's partner. Bryan could have got him, and break him, he didn't even needed to run after Peter in the first place. moreQuotes:

Just saw the movie in the sneak preview. First of all this movie will get a lot of those people who will whine about everything that is not realistic really (If you are one of those, you'll have a lot to whine about). But if you can just enjoy a movie as its intended to be and you appreciate some action this movie is near perfect. The main character is so pure and non complex. Finally an action movie that doesn't try to give some oddities to the characters to make them more interesting but just straightforward high speed action .
Watching this movie was a great experience and I was surprised that I could enjoy an action movie this much. My tip: sit down, enjoy the ride and don't moan about imperfections.
