Momentum
Alex, a mysterious thief, is pulled in by her former partner for one last heist. When Alex, an infiltration expert with a secret past, accidentally reveals her identity during what should have been a routine heist, she quickly finds herself mixed up in a government conspiracy and entangled in a deadly game of cat-and-mouse with a master assassin and his team of killers.

When Momentum gets going, there's an entertaining time to be had trying to catch up.

With a plot so thin that it's barely there, this sleek South African action thriller is surprisingly entertaining simply because the cast is allowed to chomp merrily on the scenery as they try to torment and kill each other.

this action thriller never stops moving (except when Olga Kurylenko's kickass heroine Alex has her leg literally caught in a vice), racing through its series of genre routines in the hope that speed alone can cover over any cracks.

Stephen Campanelli... keeps Momentum moving with brisk assurance, making up for his film's routine script and modest budget with slick visuals and impressively punchy action.

Campanelli's main goal seems to have been to incorporate as many action movie clichés as possible in a single film...

Mostly a bore.

Right down to its generic title, this laughable cat-and-mouse thriller is a celebration of vigilante clichés.

"Momentum" is a spectacularly generic action-thriller that, despite its sleekly shot and edited mayhem, lands with a giant thud.

Fast-paced but vacuous thriller.

All in all, Momentum is one big disappointingly generic mess of a movie that does very little to generate anticipation or excitement, let alone a viewing recommendation.

Crammed ... with leaden dialogue and predictable plot turns.

Momentum is just that - a whole lot of forward motion without much to back it up or a compelling destination.
