An average movie

To be honest, I  wasn't really expecting much from this flick buts since I have a weak spot for Christian Slater and even more for Morgan Freeman, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, unfortunately, it turned out to be rather lame, I'm afraid. First of all, even though the concept was not bad, it was also terribly limited. The funny thing with this movie is that the story was sometimes so tedious that I kept wondering how did they manage to shoot with all this water. Was it on location or in a studio ? Anyway, it must have been a hell for all the actors involved. Recently, I saw 'The Revenant', the shooting conditions were also terribly difficult and it went on for months but the big difference was that 'The Revenant' was a huge critical success and I don't think it was really worth it to be constantly wet for such a poor end-result. The other disappointing thing was that even though it was pretty neat to see Morgan Freeman playing the bad guy, unfortunately, towards the end, they suddenly changed his status which was a really poor idea. To conclude, even though it wasn’t  very bad,  it was still an average action flick and I don't think it is really worth a look.
