Poorly acted. Not very believable. Cannot maintain suspension of disbelief. It is Long. Long and slow. Pretentious. Tries to be stylistic and fails. Music score is weak. It's as if it doesn't know what kind of film it wants to be. Fight scenes passable. It's not as if they didn't try, it just needs focus and one unifying vision. It's several genre of films stitched together.

Thought this was a Macgruber sequel for about 20 minutes in, but sadly it's not. The main character even looks a bit like Will Forte! Unfortunately, it's just a regular old movie -- no throat rips, no sex scenes on the tombstone with the ghost of your dead wife, and no distracting the enemy with a stalk of celery sticking out of your butt. I'm going to go watch Macgruber. I would suggest you do the same.

Has all the production values of a bait and switch tv series pilot. First an engaging exciting airplane heist scene, after which practically nothing happens during the entire rest of the film. Almost 2 hours of overtly long drawn out scenes in which nothing of importance happens. Think about a bad slow tv drama and then double the slowness, it's unbelievable.

The music can be good at times and hides the fact that nothing of importance is happening, because the music conveys a sense of thrill. Take out the music and realize you're watching endless filler footage which simply does not matter. How this ever got distribution is a mystery, even Troma should've declined this borefest.

I am actually not going to say a lot about this movie as I didn't bother to watch it out. I am only saying that I was misled by the 6.6 average rating which is a very high rating. One should get suspicious when the ratings are either 10 or 1 to 2. That means that the low ratings are actual genuine feedback and the 10 ratings from the cast, friends and family. Terrible acting, a confusing and incoherent story, boring and pretentious trying to be something it is clearly not. Do not waste your time on this.

It's always a problem when the central characters are all blond women and men with half shaved faces. Are these different people or the same people at different times? Who knows? Who cares? Is this a film about an assassin, or corporate espionage,or a pair of lovers? Who knows? Who cares? Did someone get a discount on a guitar player to score the entire film? Who knows? Who cares?
