I was looking at the reviews debating if I should watch this and I thought surely it can be as bad as all these one to three star reviews say it is. It actually intrigued me even more to watch it. And Morgan Freeman is there how bad can it really be? Spoiler: don't make the same mistake I made, the bad reviews are spot on.

The entire time watching this I was thinking this could have been a perfectly average action flick. The god awful CGI is the main factor that completely tackles this film from being acceptable to being ridiculous. I haven't seen CGI this bad in 20 years, and the fact it has Freeman and one of the Hemsworth brothers in it makes me believe they had enough of a budget to have decent CGI.

Second thing is the soundtrack. The songs seem so random and not aligned with the scenes at all. The first fighting scene in the forest has this jolly jazz track over it and at the scene in the stripclub they play this sweet innocent lovesong that seems more in place in a teenage Disney show. I was waiting for them to play 'Call me Maybe' at the end scene.

I would give 1 star but the bad CGI and random soundtrack were so laughable that in the end it did entertain me, for all the wrong reasons but still.

Please just don't waste your time. Everyone with 10/10 scoring, shame on you. Good CGI, good storyline, any realness you cannot find in this movie. Next time send the budget to people in need, and spare us the misery of watching such a hollow and uninspired attempt at filmmaking. The plot is predictable, the characters are shallow, and the dialogue is cringeworthy. It's clear that the focus was on visual effects rather than substance, and even that is just absurdity.

This is a prime example of style over substance, leaving the audience with nothing but a forgettable experience. Save your time and money for something worthwhile.

This has to be one of the most lackadaisical films I have ever seen. The CGI seems like it was done on a flip phone or by a class of 1st graders. Not only do you have 1 parachute scene that is so poorly done that they decided to do 2 more parachute scenes. Some guy was like "that 1st parachute scene was so legit that we must have atleast 3 chute scenes". Any explosion scene was hilarious. They performed the scene and then again from another angle then again from another.

The music did not match the scenes. The acting was horrible, writing seemed like it was done while sitting on the toilet while taking CGI classes.

Morgan Freeman, wtf? I know he doesn't need the money that bad. Luke, just stop it man. You will always be thespian Thor. Nothing more, nothing less.

I considered battlefield earth the worst movie to have good actors in it, but this one is the new king!

Terrible acting. It was obvious that they used non-actors where they could. The writing reminded me of a 80's jean Claude Vandamme or Steven seagal movie, but the worst thing was the special effects!

The parachute scenes are laughable at best, the muzzle flashes look like a cartoon, and apparently no one on the staff Knows anything about firearms since the bad guys are shooting all tracer rounds, and glocks don't go "click" when they are out of ammo!

As a resident of Birmingham, I'm embarrassed that this movie was filmed here.

I tried to give it no stars, but it won't let me.

I was not even able to go 50mins in before I finally had to rage quit!

How invincible do you have to be that shots from assault rifles don't touch you (while you're unmoving target, and flashes of bullets wheezing past you)!

I thought it was just me until I saw other people's reviews!

The fight scenes were just senseless. So, I'd rather wait for you to fight with girls with knives, while I hold on to my gun and waiting my turn?

Many many things are just not it in this movie.

Then the continuity? Poor. I could count how many times someone went back to be blown into the air again after an explosion

This was so bad I had to create an account to drop a review.

Not. Worth. Your. Time!
