    Script and storyline not that great

    Script and storyline not that great.

    The movie is pretty average.

    needs to be better

    Casi (John Boyega) is a public defender struggling within the justice machinery and battling cold-hearted Judge Cymbeline (Linda Lavin). His best friend Dane (Bill Skarsgård) is a prosecutor. Tow impound clerk Lea (Olivia Cooke) is offered a bribe from Craig (Ed Skrein). It leads to a minivan secretly filled with $millions of drugs.

    This is a crime thriller. Going to the cops is a mistake (for the story). It doesn't make sense that the drug is still in the van. The cops would bring some drug sniffing dogs. Leave the cops out of this. There is a lot of little problems like that. When the bidding goes that high, somebody would have figured something's up. Otherwise, this has some fun quirkiness but it does need more. I do like these actors. It's trying to be a crime thriller but the writing needs to be better.

    Fun, easygoing

    I haven't had any preconceptions about this movie from it's trailer.

    But in the end it's a solid movie. Interesting premise, a little silly in execution but all in all - a fun easygoing movie with fun characters.

    Yeah, there's some cheap philosophy but it's not anything of importance. Boyega is good in this, Bill Skarsgard as well, everyone was.

    Really don't get the low score from some people. Is it some drama, review bombing? Who the f knows and cares, it's a solid, fun small movie, watch it.

    Prepare to be disappointed

    When you are promised a world-ending of civilization as we know it and a collapse of all systems, be prepared to be very disappointed.

    Writers tried to mix a heist/outsmart criminals with nerdy scifi and failed greatly.

    If it was only a heist/outsmart criminals, it might be better as you'd have more time for character development, but this movie was ridiculous.

    Does not deserve the bad ratings

    This is not a 3.9 movie (the rating it has when I am writing), the reviewers have been too harsh.

    Has some cool social commentary, good acting and John Boyega seemed like a young Danzel Washington, maybe a project in the making.

    Watch it and don't trust the rating.
