What I Liked: I had never seen a movie with Harrison Ford that was made before the first original Star Wars movie so it was a pleasant surprise to see he was in this, even though his screen time was limited. The movie started out with a bit of suspense as Hackman and his team were already in the middle of their spy job.
What I Disliked: What’s fun is as I’m typing my thought that the movie was super slow, in my head I’m consciously saying it as slow as I can. By the time I found out what the demons were that haunted Gene Hackman’s character, I had already lost interest and just wanted the movie to be over.
Grade: 1.5 out of 5 (Marginal)
Adjusted Grade: 2 out of 5 (Fair)
Rationale: Too slow for me which I felt hurt the strong potential the premise had.
