An average movie

I have always been a fan of Harrison Ford but, honestly, like some older actors like Robert de Niro and Al Pacino his career has become pretty pathetic lately. At least, de Niro is pretty honest about it and it is understandable that an actor when he has reached 70 years old doesn’t feel the need anymore to play some amazingly demanding parts but is it really necessary to spoil a whole legacy of great movies in the process? Anyway, this movie managed to get his weakest reviews so far (even ‘Paranoia’, arguably the biggest flop released in 2013, has a better rating in Imdb) so I wasn’t expecting much. Eventually, I have seen worse and it is not an awful flick but it was still a terribly weak and misguided action-comedy. It actually had some potential but satire is one of the most difficult genres and it works only if the makers are willing to go all the way. In this case, since it remains a mainstream feature, it was reduced to a couple of jokes and some funny oneliners but that was about it, I’m afraid. To conclude, I’m afraid it deserves its poor reputation and I don’t think it is really worth a look.
