This movie could have been so much better. Action was good, acting alright(Bautista could only do so much with bad supporting actors), story not so much.
Instead Bautista takes 2nd billing to a no name SJW snowflake actress who couldn't shout here way out of a wet paper bag. Plus we have exposition and hand holding throughout the movie.
Spoiler! The bad guys are...white but not just any whites-southern whites. So the multicultural super hero team has to be assembled sans white guys to fight this new or maybe old ancient hatred that has arisen anew.
Synopsis: Join me on a multicultural SJW romp as we fight those big bad racist white boys from Ohio? Texas and...well all those Southern racist backwaters states because everyone knows that's what they are. So now they want to take over Yankee town because reasons. And here we go...

Where's the DMZ?... I know where the DMV is!
Lol, best line in the whole thing.
I live in Brooklyn near where this was set, so it'd been on my list for a while. Truthfully, I'm bumping up my rating a bit just to balance out all the unreasonable reviews... so I'd really put it at a 6/6.5
Look, the premise is pretty implausible, but that said, being a Brooklynite, I felt at least the social dynamics were familiar. The side characters really shined - the Black mama who reigned in her gang banging son and his "club" (haha); the Hasids fighting back in the alley. The acting isn't terrible, but it's not great either - the dialogue was a bit stunted so not much to work with...
I enjoyed the long-shot steady-cam approach which made it pretty immersive.
Unfortunately, the ending sucked. Killing off the main characters within minutes of the end was gratuitous and left the whole thing feeling unresolved. But, I've been into disaster/apocalyptic films lately and overall this was a fun watch.
