Review Time

Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/shooting/electrocution/animal cruelty/vehicle hit/torture/medical/references to suicide and the rainbow community

Don't waste your time; even though I did: briefly Parker/other characters [Mark Wahlberg:] he is a criminal that plans out heists, but the thing he couldn't plan out for is one member of his unit betraying them Zen/other characters [Rosa Salazar:] she is also a highly skilled criminal, that does this betrayal for a bigger purpose, so obviously there is revenge on the menu, but for now they have to work together.

Generally speaking: storyline/script; well it is so boring and relentlessly so, on every aspect minus the art, this film is such hard work to the point where at one point or another I fell asleep watching this film and the person I watch some of this content with knew within about 15 minutes as did I that this film was going to be absolute garbage: the script, framework and pacing of this 128 minutes film never somehow seems to remind you that even though there is a lot happening now and again that this project is very formulaic and agonisingly slow.

Art; the only positive component to this film is we get something like a James Bond 007 style opening sequence as it relates to the artistry; so this is faultless as they take their outlay and turn it into their own sequence.

Action and comedy; yes we get the standard vehicle chasing, guns and chaos with elements especially on the first highest we get a sense of comedy, but I should also point out that after this comedy of what I remember is; here and there and it just isn't funny, you know when a comedian is trying to be comical, but their material is landing or it was an attempt at comedy; this is one of two ways to pretty much described the comedy in this film.

Character developments and performances; to be completely honest; we individually or together completely became disinterested in this film, to the point where not only did I fall asleep twice we mentally switched off as well. Now be it the script, the framework and pacing or individually or together a character developments being generic versions of what you come to expect from a project from the heist genre, so if this is what they were going for they struck gold here, but back in reality; the character developments or/and performances were just monotonously painful to watch, I should point out that they are not bad, just incredibly boring.

This film receives: 1/10, this film is poor; I think we are just both happy just to get through it so we never have to see it again, without giving too much away but then again I think the person I watch this film with just said this for future reference; that they won't be watching the sequel if there is one in the future.
