Survivor (2015) 6/10

Starring : Milla Jovovich, Pierce Brosnan, Dylan McDermott, Angela Bassett, Robert Forster
Director : James McTeigue
Running Time : 97 mins

Kate Abbott (Jovovich) is an American State Department employee working in London vetting visa applications. When her entire team are killed in a restaurant bombing, she discovers that her boss Bill Talbot () has been blackmailed by terrorists who plan to set off a bomb on New Year’s Eve in Times Square, so she is forced to go on the run when she is framed for the crime by those responsible.

This low budget effort is interesting in its limited capacity, but Brosnan as a villain comes across a little comical to my mind. Jovovich is good enough in the lead role, though the theory behind bothering to kill her team seemed a little stupid as it basically sent up a red flag that something was going on and almost forced the investigation that led to the realisation of the terrorist attack.
