I only managed to get 45 minutes through this awful movie before turning it off. Supposedly a fast paced crime comedy, it is neither fast paced or funny. What it is, is just really stupid. Perhaps Amazon should spend some more money on the decent scrip rather than spending the budget on a cast of decent actors. The whole premise of the movie is just so stupid, but then the actual scrip and performances are just as bad. This movie is any fine example of the lack of writing talent out there today, and Amazons own need to release original content. This movie is so bad it actually made me angry, not bad for a fast-paced comedy.

Tom Hardy needs to be more careful in his choices or he's going to be known as the new Nicholas Cage. The Venom movies were bad but this movie begs the question, Who the hell is green lighting this rubbish. The CGI made the car chase scenes look like a low budget computer game. The direction of this movie was shockingly bad.

But I think what annoys the hell out of me on here, is the fact that so many reviewers are very critical of this movie then go and give it a score of 5 or more. It's time people were harsher with their scores. A 5 or more makes it average, and this movie was well below that.

I'm amazed at how many people are giving this movie decent scores. We all know Statham movies aren't anything more than an action movie, but this one was terrible. The story and action have all been done hundreds of times before and far far better. Fair enough I said, you know exactly what you are going to get when watching a Statham movie. But this is just so poor and predictable. The script and acting was like some cheap B movie. The Russian gangsters were almost comical in their behaviour and dress sense, but not in a good way. The fight scenes were mediocre, which considering Statham is getting on in years is hardly surprising.
