    Okay, it's never a good sign when a film gets put up on Netflix's Instant Stream service in the same year that it was released - excluding international films to an extent. It is an even WORSE sign when a film goes straight to VOD on basically the same day of it's theatrical release. The distributors of Survivor knew just how much of a POS they had on their hands & it shows through its distribution and its complete lack of promotion. James McTeigue's spy thriller is dead on arrival, and for 1hr 30min it flops around helplessly as it looks for a mercy killing. And it's not so much that the film is outright abysmal, it's more so the fact that it's so fucking boring. It is a, quote on quote, spy thriller that has not one moment of suspense to its name. None of what occurs in this movie can be constituted as suspenseful or engaging in any way - tedious & boring sound about right though. It is just that none of this is exciting or fun, which is one of the cardinal sins that no movie that calls itself a thriller can commit. This is also an incredibly shallow experience. Characters might as well be cardboard & certain character motivations are beyond baffling. Really, the only thing I take away from this movie is that Pierce Brosnan deserves better then this - the man was Bond for Christ sakes.
