This movie reminds me of the old style spy thriller capers you see on one of the retro channels on TV; lots of fast moving action, snappy dialogue and a plot that doesn't take itself too seriously.
Jason Statham can certainly carry a movie on his own as it's lead, and the supporting cast, including an amusingly snarky Aubrey Plaza, works. It took me a moment to see through the crinkly old-man make up to recognize Hugh Grant as a quirky and creepy billionaire, but he handles it with aplomb and brings it home.
Lots of action, a interesting soundtrack and some fantastic, bucket-list travel locations make this movie a fun ride for anyone looking for something to watch and enjoy without any pretentiousness or highbrow expectations.
