Yes many will call this movie boring. This is the story of a real human being. He makes mistakes and things don't add up in the end. Thats what true stories feels like. We always try to save our near and dear ones. Sometimes we are so focused on that we loose our life happening now. We. F...k things up. That is the whole plot. Its a 7.5. Gave 9 to average out bad reviews.

The trailer made it to appear like a thriller, specially like Liam Neeson style movies n a bit like Russell Crowe's Next Three Days but it is more of a crime drama with a good performance by Damon who really looked n acted like a hard manual laborer.

The movie then ended like a milder version of Defending Jacob.

The movie is so predictable that even my teenage daughter predicted it way before.

I got a bit disappointed but somehow i enjoyed it due to Matt Damon.

This is a very thoughtful piece, one which still pops into my mind in the days since watching it. A central character that at first seems stubbornly dull is crafted into something more and more intriguing via an excellent Matt Damon, while the story itself is shaped by the people within it rather than Taken-style tropes about troubled European spots (from a US pov).

It's a bit of a sprawl and could definitely have done with a trim on the running time but stick with it and there are surprising rewards.
