An average movie

To be honest, I wasn't expecting much from this flick but since I have a weak spot for Dwayne Johnson and since it was available on Netflix, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, eventually, it was actually not so bad after all. Maybe it was because I had some rather low expectations but I thought it was actually a decent story dealing for once with a believable heist. Still, they did mess up some stuff though. For example, the opening scene with some actual archive news footage was pretty neat but it gave away too much information and it should have been added at the end of the film. Furthermore, like the footage at the end, it was rather comical when the movie itself was nothing funny at all. Then, once again, Liam Hemsworth was really not convincing as lead actor. I mean, it wasn't his worst work but the guy simply cannot carry a movie on his own and it might explain why Dwayne Johnson was displayed prominently on all the promotional material when he actually showed for only a third of the duration. Anyway, to conclude, my rating might be generous here but I thought it was a decent watch and it is worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
