A dark, bleak, slow burn, suspense thriller told in the style of Zero Dark 30 that had me on the edge of my seat from the get go.
Altho Emily Blunt has been getting the accolades, it's Josh Brolin, as the smug arrogant "operator" and, even moreso, Benicio Del Toro as the secretive man from across the border, who punched all the right Roadie buttons. Victor Garber is excellent as well in his supporting role (as usual). Might as well give Del Toro the Supporting Actor Oscar now.
The film's suspense builds from the opening scene, smolders, and catches fire in the final act with a pretty freekin cool, short but sweet, shootout somewhere in between for the Expendables fans. Contrary to the impression I got from the trailer t'aint no non stop shoot em up. I liked Everest (8 of 10) but this one (9) is a notch above....enjoy!!
