POSITIVES…
If you're looking for an action revenge movie with that typical Tom Clancy international political intrigue, then here you go.
Michael B Jordan is in fact a badass, continues to be a badass, and showcases his badassery in this quite splendidly.
All the action sequences involving Michael B Jordan are the highlights and are the main reasons for watching this movie.
That prison scene for example is just fun stuff.
There's also that whole set piece that involves setting a car on fire.
Speaking of excellent set pieces, that plane set piece was really nicely done too.
The movie's not done though, because there's also that huge set piece set in a building, that's definitely one of the best sequences of this movie.
After watching this, I really wouldn't mind seeing more action movies featuring Michael B Jordan's character here. In other words, stick around for the mid-credits scene.
NEGATIVES…
Very very familiar premise that doesn't differentiate itself enough from similar movies. Despite the production value.
Some people will accuse this movie for being too generic and mediocre.
Why is everybody acting so stiff and stilted except for Michael B Jordan?
Jamie Bell is so ridiculously hateable in this, that it's just… so annoyingly ridiculous!
That conclusion. Meh.
