You can tell that this script was taken from a book and was pressed into a 1h 45min runtime for Hollywood.
Result: Unintelligent plot without enough character development, over the top acting, silly one-liners and too much bang-bang to cover up the plot holes and the inconsistencies.
Some good things: A few of the actors seem to have tried to take the material seriously. Also, the photography is up to par here with great sets and beautiful visuals.
And most of the action sequences are impressive.
So these are a few reasons to watch if you want to switch off and just kill some time with this mindless flick. I personally didn't hate it but...the plot...can't be saved.
Maybe if it was 2,5h long it could have been a bit better...? We will never know.
5,9/10.
