Is this a tobacco or cigarette commercial? There is hardly a scene where Bautista is without a cig in his mouth. For me that was a serious turn off. One scene after another and he is smoking, which really ruins the mood of the film.
In most of those scenes there is little else going on; I could understand if an actor uses a cigarette to draw attention as a plot device, but here it just takes away from the film.
Bautista has an excellent stage presence, he is so large he just draws the eye, and dominates which ever scene he is in. He has almost a primal presence, lots of animal magnetism. I thought the director missed a lot of opportunities to make use of those qualities.
If the entire film was as good as the first twenty minutes I would say it was a decent movie. Sadly it's not.
