Shocked this wasn't a Europa production.

Second trailer:



A couple of the lines of dialogue make me cringe a little bit. I am not having a good feeling about this, especially considering the somewhat silly premise. On the other hand, they attracted some good people to the project so maybe the script is better than I am expecting.

Also not sure if they put out a bunch of one-sheets but the one I saw yesterday in the theater was just of Gal Gadot with no other cast or names on it.

So I acquired a DVD of this and watched it today.

Meh, didn't really care for it. It was watchable, but very forgettable. A waste of a very talented cast. It was a mix of science fiction and one of those Europa production action movies.

It's very similar to the Ryan Reynolds movie Self/Less and coincidentally he has an uncredited appearance in this movie.

Not one of Costner's better movies. He looked old, tired and his character was not likable at all.

I'd give this a C

Surprisingly, he is listed in the end credit scroll. Billed fourth behind Costner, Oldman and Jones. So not sure why his name isn't on the front cover or even the credit block on the back.
