An enjoyable movie although the huge missed chances to make it a great one.

You may ask yourself, Is It a worthwhile to watch movie that is independent or Is It fully dependent on Will Smith only ?!

Well, the proper question here should be, Would the movie be watchable without Will Smith?! Yes it has some good elements but Will Smith adds a lot to it with his character, acting, and voice.

Starting from the story, it's quite explained from the trailer, but you have to wait till the end for the justification of each character motive.

The movie has great chase, gun shooting and nature scenes. But you may feel sorry to see how slow and heavy Will Smith became, and what made that worse is the computerized accelerated scenes for the younger Will Smith while the old Will Smith is in so the difference is noticeable.

The movie tried to make everything, but the problem that they put too much elements while not focusing on one and make it superior. For example, the character of "Benedict Wong" who is supposed to be the comedian companion who says some jokes to release the stress in the scene, you will feel that his lines are forcefully put without caring about the quality of the jokes.

All of this happened due to script problems, which didn't give enough space to introduce each character with their motives and drawbacks in the two hours of the movie.

By the way, it's not a boring two hours movie, your eyes will not look away from the screen, all the events are sequential and there is always unanswered question that makes you want to watch it till the end.

Will Smith did a great role here as a guy in his age, all other actors didn't make any noticeable effortful acting.

Finally, it's a watchable action movie that has a lot of elements of Netflix production, which means everything is average but enjoyable to watch in home with your family or friends with a bucket of popcorn.
