LeBouf has grown up quite a bit since his preteen role in Holes, that's for sure. He's becoming a pretty talented actor, and this movie is no exception. The entire cast brought a lot to the movie, and it was definitely full of action.
While everything was captured amazingly, in my opinion the idea behind it was kind of lacking. I was expecting something a bit more epic or creative, honestly. Not that it wasn't a good film; it was definitely worth the money for the acting and the production.
Just, when I go to the theatre for a film like this, I'm expecting to have my mind blown. Instead, I found myself saying, "Huh. I could've come up with something like this, even."
Regardless, if you want a good action movie with some excellent acting, this won't disappoint your dollar.
