7/10
Felt real enough for the moment.

It's always a bit difficult to mix genres and this film certainly had to overcome some major element mixing. I believe that most pure action fans will have a fast forwarding feel for this movie. Many of the scenes stretch the film watchers ability to suspend disbelief. This kind of movie could have more easily been less serious and it would have worked better on a comedic level but I still enjoyed watching.

Kevin Costner has a way of playing a burnt out person that makes his character human and the subplots are pleasant as well. I had to roll my eyes at some of the characters interactions and the difference between what he wants from his life and what his life really is are startling at times.

Overall I passed a good time watching this movie but it's not getting any Oscar nominations. It made me smile, laugh and had some tension as well.
