I love European made thrillers (this is really a South African production but count the same anyway); they do not have the USA budgets and digital effects but have strong acting; even more strong stunt work, realistic action and scripts that hook you up and rarely let you go (I found many boring and self-import moments in Avengers Age of Ultron on the first look; but when I saw it again on BD it was worse). I saw MOMENTUM in Europe a few weeks ago; a movie with Olga Kurylenko, James Purefoy and Morgan Freeman could not be bad).
Well I was happily surprised. It was not by far; and the twist at the end even resolve the MCGUFFY to open for a follow up.
The movie starts with a bank heist by; everything goes fine; but one of the robbers; perhaps to high on drugs start threatening people and robbers begin arguing (and fighting ) between them. Robbers are able to escape with the lot even when one of them loses her mask in front of too many witness. From the tension of the first few minutes action and violence keep escalating almost non-stop until the end of the movie.
But within the shouting, chases and fighting still the directors is able to present his most interesting characters and make as feel something for them.
This is the type of movie is more rewarding if seeing without knowing a lot about.
