Cat Run (2011)

Despite always feeling that an IMDb rating over 6 is a worthy movie, this one is on the verge of a lower rating.It is hard to put your finger on the exact reason this movie is so silly, others have said the plot is weak (I suggest haphazard is a better word), certainly the acting is mediocre, the humour was there but lame at times, the two "buddies" are just too goofy to take serious as private eye's, but the handicapped African-Scottish assistant (D.L. Hughley) may have been the silliest. A final criticism is that some of the scenes made no sense, no wonder this didn't get an Oscar for editing.But, and I always at least try to give some positive comments, it was relatively entertaining and worth a watch on a stormy Sunday afternoon in February if you have nothing else to do. Lets be honest (guys), Paz is enjoyable to see in action and the two assassins were "interesting" (Janet McTeer) and oddly funny (Tony Curran).

I would agree with most on here that this movie is a flawed but entertaining R rated film.its an action comedy movie that involves a female escort who witness a government cover up of a crime and is then hunted by the people trying to cover it up, aided by two unlikely private detectives to expose the crime and escape the ruthless assassins sent to eliminate her.quite the simple plot yet filled with all sort of characters from funny and silly like Jullian played by Alphonso Mcauley to cold blooded killers like Helen played by Janet Mcteer who for me really stole the show with her brilliant performance as the British assassin, absolutely loved her ! the movie is a mixture of Action and Comedy which could work for and against the film, at times it felt like a Bond film, other times felt more like There is something about Marry !! I mostly enjoyed the serious part of it, the mature violent kills and gory scenes, i also loved the setting of the film that took a wide tour through European countries capturing some beautiful scenery which added much to the movie.Action scene were pulled off with perfection, gun fights and a final fist fight not to be missed.In short, the movie was flawed in certain areas, but was actually pretty entertaining and worth a watch for sure, at least for Janet Mcteer's performance and some solid mature action. I say 7.5 out of 10

This movie is a pretty graphic example of modern grind-house cinema: It's misanthropic, misogynistic, obnoxiously sadistic and gross. However, it has the moral reserve of not taking itself too seriously, reaching its highlights in scenes plenty of tasteless humor. Even the promos are slightly deceitful as the main storyline has much less to do with the female lead, Catalina "Cat" Rona (The once-promising Spanish actress Paz Vega) than a couple of unlucky globe trotters (Scott Mechlowicz and Alphonso McAuley), both involved into a merciless pursuit across Europe. In fact, "Cat" is far from the image of the female hero and she actually plays her part as a vulnerable, rather passive woman in peril which only serves as main prize to a bunch of soulless thugs.Perhaps the most (or should I have to say, the only) memorable and well developed character in this gallery of grotesque is the strict mannered and cold-blooded British assassin portrayed by Janet McTeer, who plays a role as fun and weird as can be a cross between Mary Poppins and Terminator, but capable of humanity when the tide turns and the plot demands her to change her side. Very consistent and congruent to the exploitative spirit which drives the insane storyline, there is a large amount of nudity and violence against women, and some torture scenes definitely not for the squeamish."Cat Run" it's a violent buddy movie and adventure flick, more in tune to dark and grim movies like "Taken" and "Hostel", where the sense of thrill seems to come in direct proportion to the lack of humanity, and the result it still is enjoyable to anyone who enjoys falling downstairs. Yes, that painful.

This is one very funny & quite racy action thriller with a lesser known star cast to the worldwide viewers but who gets together to entertain us well.There are F's and B's flying from all the characters' mouth so many times that it's futile to keep count but when all the filthy language is mixed with loads of humour, we end up having a fun time.Most of the acting is forgettable but the movie covers up for that, thanks to the fast-paced action scenes, the hand combats, the humour and of course the nudity :) Only the female actors really stood out here. Janet McTeer as the hired assassin Helen Bingham shows a deadly balance of motherly care and ruthless violence! Paz Vega as the escort Catalina is just crazy HOT! Verdict: I never expected Cat Run to be this fun. But ya, adult viewing only ;)
