CLAIRE’S THOUGHTS:
That it billed itself as a stoner comedy was a bit too much–it was really more of a thriller, with comedic elements that were not overt. Still entertaining. But it’s another instance of something like the movie Wanted, where it just seems to want to be a franchise so bad, but probably won’t be. Every movie can’t be a franchise. Maybe every movie shouldn’t try to be. Still entertaining and fun, though. Despite what people may think, Kristen Stewart has some range. Not used to seeing her with blue eyes, though.

CAROLYN’S THOUGHTS: This was good, but slightly generic. Just another “Government Agent forgets he is CIA and then wonders why he’s such a bad-ass” movie. I think the twist with Kristen Stewart was a little contrived and either unnecessary, or it maybe could have been fleshed out better than it was.
