Acting: extremely sub-par
Cinematography: looked like this is their first gig at using a camera to film
CGI: piss poor given the tech available and money involved. Woefully unnecessary at times
Social commentary: really bad at doing the one thing i thought this movie was attempting to do.
Akshay kumar should really stick to movies where he can be goofy. The actress playing Gabrielle had a presence equivalent to bone bits in a biryani.
If you are going to make a movie maybe learn how to construct one instead of throwing things together and hoping it'll stick.
The characters lacked life and the camera unfortunately highlighted that aspect even more with its rather amateur and awkward everything. It hovered too long on things that didn't require attention in the first place or failed to portray the gravity of any of the plethora of situations the films bombards you with.
Wire-work was also terrible and unnecessary. You'd think Indian cinema has come a long way make believable human movement.
Maybe, just maybe the next time you cast Akshay Kumar, make sure he is not the glue that sticks the movie together because he doesn't. His character lacks basic human traits and does such a bad job in crisis mode. I stress this point more because the movie wants you to believe he is Crisis Man and can un-crisis you from any and all crisis.
These are just a few points I thought were worth mentioning because talking about all of them would be an unnecessary waste of my time. And these were from the first half of the movie at that.
