Few films make into my collection, films like NEIGHBORS starring John Belushi, Blue Velvet starring Dennis Hopper, MOTHER starring Jennifer Lawrence, the original BLADE RUNNER. SEVEN PSYCHOPATHS, DREAMS by Akira Kurosawa, etc. Each of these has something special, out of the box, so to speak. Each good film of this sort is like a Parable.
TERMINAL starring Margot Robbie, Simon Pegg, Mike Myers, will be one of them. I must bow down in respect and appreciation to Director and writer Vaughn Stein.
Simon Pegg and Mike Myers did their best serious roles in this film.
Again I must add, this movie is not for everyone. If you like simple action, comedy and just pure entertainment, you may not like this. It is a film for those who love to think and analyze the meanings, messages and symbolisms. This film has a lesson which becomes clear at the end. See if you can guess what it is.

Warning spoiler:
My interpretation: This is about "karma" and how people in power abuse the innocent and how the guilty MUST be held accountable The "Terminal" symbolizes the place of judgement at the end of your life on this earth. The hole or pit is "hell" for those found guilty. There is a lot of other symbolism that would take too long here to get into. See if you can find it.

So looks like the director is trying and failing to be like Guy Ritchie.. this movie is no where near paced nor as good as anything Ritchie has done. As far as entertaining, its not terrible. I only watched this for Simon Pegg. Margot Robbie is (IMO) not good in this.

I seldom write reviews, however the poor ratings make me stop and pause. The banter between characters was witty and added a nuance to the story. I thought the use of the light and neon highly stylized the point of the movie. It reminded me of Sin City or Snatch. Very enjoyable and my kind noir.

Extremely stylish. Pays homage to Tarantino and noir films. I agree with other viewers that the plot is a bit messy, but I personally feel that, if not taken too seriously, Terminal is a really enjoyable film. I loved it.
