Arrived at 5.50pm to find several people already queueing to get in. Seems folk are getting there earlier and earlier - half full by 6.05pm and luckily kept seats for Marjoreemarjora and her OH as it was almost full when they arrived.

As for the film I was rather disappointd in it with all the big names thought it would be better. Too slow first half and although it picked up wasn't one that I could recommend. 6/10.

was quite disappointed with this and felt it dragged on for too long as at some points i felt like dozing off though i did find Mark Wahlberg brilliant in the film

A little disappointed as I was expecting an action flick (my mistake) but I did find it a pretty enjoyable story. 6/10

Pretty full at the O2. Can't quite understand why so many people were surprised by the 7pm start - that has been the case for every screening I have been to at that location. Oh well.
As for the movie, I'd call it decent. Good enough performances and story, but nothing exquisite. It was just a steady, interesting enough picture. And it had Mark Wahlberg in it, which never hurts, although it would have helped if he was sans his shirt more ;)

6.5/10

I thought the film was ok 6/10 for me. One of the things that let it down was the fact that i thought there was too many unnecesary charecters such as Mark Whalbergs girlfriend who did not really have anything to do with the plot.
Really need to join the Free Film's club this year! Always forget
