POSITIVES…
A premise that heavily involves the Armored Truck delivery side of the business, mixed with gangsters and criminals? Yeah. I’m immediately interested.
Those who want a more gritty and dark Guy Ritchie film, should find something that will grab their attention here.
It stars Jason Statham, and he is very entertaining here as you expect him to be.
Good ensemble cast, that includes Holt McCallany, Darrell D'Silva, Josh Hartnett, Jeffrey Donovan, Scott Eastwood, and Eddie Marsan.
The chapter based narrative gets more intriguing and engaging as the story goes.
Has some solid set pieces and montages throughout, with highlights coming from scenes featuring Jason Statham in action.
It’ll definitely make you want to see how the whole thing concludes, even if you have an idea how it’s going to end.
Thematically has a rather fascinating cynical commentary on men and their tendencies for self-destructive violence.
NEGATIVES…
Those specifically looking for that light-hearted witty sense of humor from Guy Ritchie will likely be disappointed with this movie.
In fact, I didn’t care that much for the mean kind of humor this movie does have.
The first chapter felt like a mess to me.
Holy crap is there so much male testosterone in this, it’s almost on the verge of parody.
“H,” “Bullet,” “Boy Sweat Dave,” “Sarge,” whatever with the cute colorful nicknames!
Dialogue can sound very overwritten at times.
