Seriously, the non sense and defying the laws of physics shooting and fighting scenes truly look like the funny scene in Naked Gun, when 6 gangsters shoot at the police officer, but then he gets his hand burnt by the kitchen stove, then he traps his other hand by the window seal, and then he stumbles and falls into the water and drowns, and makes the whole scene utterly hilarious. This movie is exactly like that.

In a way the fact that Tom Hardy accepted a role in such a poor movie tells us something about the state of his career.

Strange and surprising as he has taken good roles and serious movies.

Movies like this where they honestly leave the Police and the SWAT teams like if they were the dumbest people on Earth, and that they attempt to portray to the public such a ridiculous story should be seriously reviewed and potentially censored.

This is such an absurd plot that it is shocking. It demonstrates that it is in fact the movie Director who must be the dumbest person on Earth, who only get to make this film because he is close to money and people with money.

More so, he unquestionably paid for the positive reviews. And he probably was high so he couldn't use brain cells to think how bad this movie was going to be.

This movie is so bad that forces people to write down something here.

Look, the movie started well. Strong martial arts performances by the main character, who surely has done plenty of this, before turning into acting. So, so far so good.

The acting was ok and we can claim solid mixed with interesting dialogues and some, of course, predictable drama, typical of a low budget film. But, at the moment that the heat of the situation kicked in all started to go downhill from there.

Utterly silly decisions made by the characters, improbable of a realistic situation, make the two main actors (him and her) look like the dumbest people on the planet.

How many movies have we seen already where the main role suddenly believes he or she has super powers, and try to rescue or fight a gang of criminals without any help?

Yet, some film directors seem to be convinced that the audience, that would be us, all suffer from mental challenges, and we will consider those actions realistic, plausible and even convincing.

Now, if I were the actor in the main role and upon reading the script I see: "serious film, no sarcasm or comedy, you do this and that" and those acts make me look like a clown in front of my audience, I wonder what I would do...?

Would I take the role? Or tell the Director to go and sell hotdogs outside, as he would probably be better off.

A question that will remain with me.
