1/10
Please. Do not watch this movie.
4 October 2019
Okay, sooo this was just truly awful. The plot is forgetful and shallow. And it's packed full of the most overused Hollywood action tropes you can ppssibly imagine. I was so busy bouncing between being shocked and/or insulted by how appalling the acting is in this movie, I barely had time to notice anything else. I will say the lead pulled off a convincing, 'struggling addict' routine in the beginning. But that's about where this movie begins and ends. Was there scoring? I suppose so, but it was so boring I hardly noticed.

To be totally honest here, I lost interest in this movie unbelievably quickly. And as a result I actually had to stop watching it, a half hour from the end. Why? ... Why not? The characters had no connection with the audience. Every single aspect of this movie is so painfully predictable, why would I think the ending would be any different? I didn't care what happened in either case. I don't remember the last time I actually had to give up on a movie it was so bad.

I feel bad for those involved in this production. I hope they went on to do better things. Please, don't make this thing, whatever it was, again.

And for those of you intending to watch this movie, your time is better spent on literally anything else you can find.
