Momentum (2015 film)

Momentum is a 2015 action thriller film directed by Stephen Campanelli, and starring Olga Kurylenko, Morgan Freeman and James Purefoy.

Alex (Olga Kurylenko), a former CIA agent-turned-thief after an incident in Belarus, gets pulled into a high-tech bank heist (her 'one last job') by her former partner Kevin.

After using the manager's body to open the vault, they steal a bag of diamonds which hides a valuable flash drive containing incriminating evidence.

Freeman offered his services to Campanelli for his directorial debut based on their prior working relationship, when he was a cameraman for Clint Eastwood.

[10] The Hollywood Reporter called it "a daft action flick" and "With one senseless set piece after another, the film's eponymous forward movement should carry it out of theaters quickly".

[11] Gary Goldstein of the Los Angeles Times wrote: "Momentum is a spectacularly generic action-thriller that, despite its sleekly shot and edited mayhem, lands with a giant thud.
