first and it take a full half hour to get hackman out of jail and to start do the job . what a waste of time and we all know hackman be get out to do some job for his master and why waste almost a third of the movie on these sequence . then hackman stay in a hotel and the story arc again go nowhere and simply prove to u that hackman be under close watch and anything he say or do be know by the master . again and another 20 minute . then more wasted time show the reunion with his wife . all of this should have take 10 15 minute at most simply a a set up for the real action and intrigue and plot twist . by the time the real action get go and i be so bored that i just want the movie to end . hackman be great a usual and and the other actor a well and but this be a dud of the first magnitude .
