When her cover is blown, Alex is forced to lay low in Cape Town, however, she quickly finds it was never just about the diamonds. A brutal murder sparks a cat and mouse chase between Alex and master CIA assassin Mr Washington (James Purefoy), who is trying to clean up the mess for a corrupt senator (Morgan Freeman). Alex must uncover the lies behind the heist and discover the secrets behind the men who have made her a target. (Pinnacle Films)

I initially deleted this film, then downloaded it again a month later according to a friend's review, and I did the right thing. Momentum reminded me of Taken in its style and pace. The cards are dealt on the table more or less from the beginning and the film paces decently to the end with the excellent Olga Kurylenko reliably handling the role of the agent both in terms of intelligence and fights. There's quite a lot of action, it's decently filmed and finely bloody, and there's no shortage of good villains. The final twist is more gratifying than shocking, but in this entertaining action B-movie one can tolerate a lot. Great fun and a surprise. 75%.

If you're into B-movies, this one is pretty well-packed, and you'll get what you're looking for in it. Some gritty scenes, and action-packed spectacle, a few twists, and actors you like. James Purefoy surprised me quite a bit in this one, and his character as the killer and torturer was very interesting. Morgan Freeman, unfortunately, is more of an ornament.
