A truly awful film and a waste of a talented cast. The plot must have been written by AI. It had every cliched plot point you could imagine; the ordinary man becoming a hero; spy stuff; the beautiful ex-girlfriend; action; a foreign location. It wasn't even funny, just grim.i gritted my teal and slogged through it. I'd like to say that there were some interesting plot points that could have been done better it expanded upon, but that wasn't the case. I appreciate that companies such as Netflix need content to keep their subscribers happy, but the quality needs to be much better, even if it takes longer to produce.

I have a weakness for Mark Wahlberg and I want to see him succeed in something else than underwear ads, I don't like Halle Berry and I think she should have never become an actress, but look here: J. K. Simmons, Mike Colter, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Jackie Earle Haley! How can you get together this cast, a big budget, and care so damn little?!

You have seen this film dozens of times. I don't mean this category of films, but this exact film! Only it was other actors, other McGuffins, other places, but the same exact story: good looking nobody gets dragged into high stakes spy stuff, the spies are more good looking and flashy than any good at what they are doing, especially shooting moving targets, there is some romance that ooh feels a bit illicit, but then why would you need romance to bring that vibe into an action movie, there are quips and socially awkward situations, a lot of faceless stunt actors that get hurt, there is an obvious twist, an obvious villain and an obvious outcome. And it lasts for almost two hours!

No, the longer I think about it, the less stars remain, so I'd better end this now. But what a pointless total waste of time and money! This kind of film should be demonetized by law.

Well ... I found myself playing mindless games on my phone half way through, keeping a half an eye on the movie.

First the pros: the action sequences were pretty good. (Sorry, it's a short list) Cons: very little chemistry between the leads, I made the bad guy immediately (and if I did, why didn't the international super-spy?) and it just wasn't even believable enough to allow the suspension of disbelief needed for movies of this genre. One example: I suspect that secret agents do everything they can to blend in, rather than dressing like a cross between catwoman and action Barbie, with eye-catching hair.

Anyways ... not objectionable but with the resources obviously available, just feel like this could have been done way better.
