Review Time: this project is poor
Fundamental elements: there are
voice-over elements, numbers and words on screen, cultural elements, background
music, slow-motion effects, quick moving effects, yes and no to subtitles being
used when another language is being used, place jumps and time jumps.
Action sequences/Artistic visions: well first things first I will discuss the elements I like [this one
sequence can be seen as an action sequence and an artistic vision.] Now
fast-forward until the later stages of this project where we have these bad
guys with guns looking for these characters in this sequence, but in this
sequence as well are these highly sophisticated computer things [to simplify
this sequence,] these computers in this case are like mirrors where these
characters are seeing reflections of themselves including the other characters
[off the top of my head this sequence reminds me of the final battle sequence
in the legendary and classic film title Enter the Dragon 1973 where in this
sequence without giving too much away we have the bad guy vs. our lead character
in a one on one sequence and in this location there are many mirrors. [If I
have missed out anything as it relates to the Skyscraper sequence I would like
to just quickly say this is just a rough description.]
Storyline/Comedy level: it is straightforward,
predictable and nothing special. Now let's move onto the comedy level, there
are little elements of comedy but they are painful to watch, in this one little
scene, we have our lead character trying to break into somewhere and before he
tries; he just tries to open the door normally at first.
Character developments/Performances: these character developments are very, very paint by numbers that
kind of thing. So let's be fair and balanced on one hand I don't know what
these performers were meant to do with these character developments/character
types in the first place, whilst on the other hand with keeping in being fair
and balanced I am going to say these performances range from poor to mixed, I
mean I can see the problems; is it the character developments/character types
or is it the performances and if you have seen this project or you haven't seen
this project yet on both sides of the line of character developments or
performances the best conclusion I could give you is this; generally speaking
it would be unfair to blame one or the other, so an element of blame has to be
put on both that is the only reasonable and logical way of looking at it.
This film receives: 2/10, now taking
everything into consideration like yes there are other moments or scenes or
sequences where this project looks visually a treat for the eyes, but be it an
unbiased perspective or a personal perspective I don't think too much of this
title, but I will try to leave this review on a positive note if you are a fan
of Dwayne Johnson give this title a go, but I just wouldn't expect too much.
