I was disappointed that it went down a played out revenge plot. I was hoping with him trusting no one that it became a paranoid chase film where he's escaping suspected attackers or taking people out that turn out to be innocent and then it attracts real attention. So he thinks he's being hunted for his mistake but he's actually the villain and it's the authorities/interpol are after him for his violent crimes and the trail of blood he left after leaving Paris.
The biggest problem is with this, I felt nothing from the characters and the pseudo intellectual edgelord narration was a massive negative too but it was competently shot and put together. The surveillance scenes were great and were the only thing that kept me from rating it lower but everything else lacked personality. Fassbender felt like a fps main character like you were having to plant your personality on him which is great for gaming but doesn't work for film. He was a lead with no redeeming qualities, so you never cared for his success by the end of the film.
If anything I felt nothing from this film, it was middle of the road, mediocre and lacking personality.
