Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
