Hot mess
I don't normally leave review unless its exceptionally good or bad, in this case its the latter.
The plot is weak. I just cannot imagine a modern crime hosted by an experienced criminal can be this reckless. How do you rob a bank without wearing a mask? Why would a criminal tell details of their accomplice to a conscious cop? If one has shot a cop, what warranted his/her life even though they try to save a dying cop?
Just a few questions, nothing too brainy, but it impacts the whole viewing experience.
Michael Bay, as if he had found a new shooting toy, keeps on abusing the drone/panning technique. Every 5-10 mins, you can see the same shooting technique used over and over again on insignificant scene setup. It just fuels me the feeling that he is toying with his newly bought drone and abused it as much as possible to justify the purchase.
And the MB classic Transformer cheap ass explosive flares and explosions. Damn it, can you just stop using flares, its like I can expect seeing flares even when the protagonist brushing his teeth.
The acting is alright, I am more incline to believe that the weak story plot is what dragged their performances behind.
This isn't a movie that is easy to sit through on couch and finished watching it in one go. I'd recommend to those who need something to play in the background when they are working and maybe turn their heads to the screen now and then. I can say you wouldn't miss too much and can still understand what is going.
