Tracers (2015)
5/10
The parkour scenes are kind of entertaining, but that's it.

It's not as bad as I thought it wold be. It's really bad story-wise and pretty bad acting-wise, but the parkour actions scenes are entertaining. The plot involves Lautner's character being in trouble with the Chinese mafia after borrowing some money from them. He has a really tragic background as to why he needed the money, but the better question is why the the Chinese mafia let this tragic kid borrow $15,000. Seems kind of sadistic on their part. Believe it or not though that's the most credible part of the story. From there a beautiful girl he runs into in the street leads him to a group of underworld of parkour. Eventually he decides to work heist jobs with this group so he can pay back the Chinese mafia before they kill him. A predictable love triangle story, an absurd semi plot-twist about the group, and a big heist that goes terribly wrong round out the ridiculous plot. The acrobatics are cool, the the writing is awful.
