I was pleasantly surprised just how much I enjoyed this. It really does crank up the tension and I didn't see The Twist TM coming, but then I hadn't read any reviews. The first recap of events, with Sigourney Weaver, was fantastically tense. I nearly jumped out of my seat twice, which wasn't very attractive considering my long legs were cascading over the seats in front of me. And because I hadn't read any reviews, I didn't realise Edgar Ramirez was in it, last seen trying to kill Matt Damon in the Bourne Ultimatum, and shagging Kiera Knightly in Domino. He would be in my definite top 5 aggressive South American tops list. Such lovely arms. And regarding the ending: it's heart warming to know that whilst terrorists are prepared to kill anyone who stands in their way, they're not prepared to run over a 5 year in the middle of the road.

I agree about the tension thing - it felt like a properly good mystery thriller for the most part - even if it did get a bit silly in the latter stages. This film has taught me that if you are ever in a terrorist attack, you need a SONY camcorder. They are quite clearly brilliant and very durable.
I also like how US movie Presidents are always so kickass and resourceful. Do you think they are over-compensating for the real versions? I wish British film Prime Ministers were more like that rather than a bit stuffy and eccentric.

I really enjoyed this but felt a little dirty for doing so. It was a lot of fun - basically 24: The Movie, I thought, even if it's not real time.

I was ridiculously excited about this largely because of the promise of some Eduardo Noriega (he plays the Spanish policeman who gets chased a lot and is immensely hot in general). Hmm I thought that as a film it was a tad rubbish though - the constant rewinding was a bit duff and overdone. I'm not surprised that Forest Whittaker is distancing himself from it, his charcter is embarassingly bad. I would have liked to know more about what Matthew Fox's beef was. Sigourney Weaver was in it for exactly 3 minutes. Ach, I guess I just felt it was an anticlimax, as there was hardly any Eduardo action and his clothes didn't accidentally fall off like they usually do in his films.

Did anyone else feel the need to sing a rendition of Sonny and Cher's "I Got You Babe" at the start of each new 12.00? No? Just me then ...
