I expected something more one dimensional but this one had some real meat to it. Jamie Foxx and Tommy Lee Jones were great to watch.

I did not expect too much from this movie mainly based on the summary of what it was about that I browsed. However we decided to give it a whirl based on the actors involved and it turned out to be so much more than expected. Put it on your list.

made it even better. Glad to see Jamie Foxx healthy and back in action. Of course Tommy Lee Jones gave a great performance, he keeps getting better with age.
