Well, for anyone for loved the poster, they'll really love this art. I like it a lot, but agreed. Not very subtle is it. And for the record, this movie was one half a good movie, and the rest was... it just... didn't happen.
Poor IMO.
The Trailer was great but there's not much action in the movie.

ok movie, terrible ending...i was totally anticipating this movie and know its only a renter for me
I dont even think people saw this.
This was an absolute blast from beginning to end.
In my opinion, this movie wasn't BAD... it just wasn't very good. My wife liked it, but then again, her taste in movies is questionable.
This movie did make more than its production budget ($35 million domestically over a $17 million budget), so I'm surprised to see why Universal is hastening its DVD release.
I kind of went in to this movie expecting the worst, so I was pleasantly surprised. Good popcorn movie. That's all I ask for anymore. If you can't be outright good, at least be fun. And this movie was pretty fun.
I have never been as angry after a movie as I was after this one as it was nothing like the trailers and commercials played it up to be. Less action, slower paced, a lot less comedy, and a completely worthless twist left me feeling duped
I like the cover.
Loved the movie, like the cover....this will be a purchase for me.
REALLY wanted to see this. Like it's been said above, it had one of the best trailers in recent memory (along with 300) and it's got Ari. Netflix baby!
i am glad they sticked with the poster for the cover. didn't know what to espect seeing this film wound up just loving this movie. ryan reynolds kicked ass. not as much action in it, but the ones that were in the film was worth it. i was hoping for a extended cut of it but i'll take what ever they give me
Loved bateman, hated the ending!
Good movie...GREAT ending.
Very disappointing, it seemed that Carnahan couldn't decide if he wanted his movie to be a comedy or a drama.
The only good thing about it was Jason Bateman, he was fantastic, I wish it was a movie about him...

Some fantastic action scenes but the ending is just so horribly anti climactic.OK movie but definitly not worth buying.
Terrible movie
Like the cover art and thought the movie was great.
Went into this one expecting an all out action fest but was a little disapointed. Still thought the movie was great though. Really like the poster and cover art. Has Universal just completely done away with DTS?
I really liked this movie, and the cover is pretty good.
With that cast you would have thought they could have done better
Not enough action. Jason Bateman was great. Ending was poor.
I have nothing to add.

How was Alicia Keys?
Alicia Keys actually did a good job acting considering how little screen time she received. Oh, and she looked pretty hot.
went in expecting it to be bad, but entertainingly bad.
it was just bad. awful.
it was just bad. awful.
I understand this is her first outing and all, but she could have done a little better. Her performance just seemed a little wooden. She needs some work. Granted she did look good in the film.
I don't know what's with all the hate, the movie wasn't THAT bad. I liked it, and I thought Piven was great in it. Best movie i've seen this year behind The Number 23. Though besides the aforementioned titles the only other films i've seen were Norbit and Ghost Rider... Take that 'best' comment with a grain of salt.

I really liked it. The cast was awesome, and I was enthralled the entire time. I'll definitely be buying it.
Wow. A lot DVDs have been keeping to the posters for the cover. I hope it stays that way.
