Well this film follows the reliable formula of a heist to a tee: basically; Agent Abby Galdwell [Gugu Mbatha-Raw:] she has to offer this job opportunity to Cyrus Whitaker/other name [Kevin Hart:] the leader of this criminal crew and yes these two have a history whilst Agent Galdwell was undercover, well the crew could do this job or go to prison, so obviously they take the job based on if they didn't we wouldn't have this film or it would be idle to something different, we also have as a member of the crew; Denton/other characters [Vincent D'Onofrio:] this seems like a good time to point out; yes this film does use the outlay of every member has skills set in this case; he is a master of disguise as his name comes on screen with his skills type we also have a drop of comedy, because when this comes up it says at the end kind of as well; his comedy bits and pieces feel very natural unlike the other comedy elements.

Generally speaking: the framework and pacing of this 107 minutes film is well... as I have already indicated it follows its heist formula perfectly and because of this; this film is so tiresome to the point where I actually fell asleep watching it, so yes I came back to finish watching it; but a very odd thing is when it does have it action sequences which I will point out momentarily, I don't know how it does it, but it has a very odd illusion of looking really quick and obviously full of action or whatever is happening, but simultaneously feeling and looking slow as if driving in a manual car with the handbrake still on [in hindsight; as I have already said this is very odd, it has just come to me maybe the reason is because yes these action sequences are good, but also formulaic.]

Art and action; the artefacts and technology aspects are imaginative and highly creative, likewise the action sequences be it on the water or in the air be it is private plane or the aeroplane; where yes we do have combat sequences in these combined areas.

Character developments and performances; the cast minus one they are solid versions of their character types and their performances reflect that, don't get me wrong there are two good points; the first being it is good to see Kevin Hart be in a mature role; yes he is still has a bit of comical about him, but it is used as comical charm instead of out and out comedy and Vincent D'Onofrio; really does make a impact every time he is on-screen [in some cases just to cover my back I know they are moments; but maybe he should consider more comedy roles of this nature; as he seems to be able to fluently go with what is necessary at that time.]

This film receives: 4/10, this film is mixed; I think with everything being discussed here in this content this mark is the right outcome, I couldn't give anymore based on a downsides, but likewise I couldn't take away anymore because of the positives either.
