Marvel performers assemble to spearhead this cast excellently: briefly; Mike/another name [Chris Hemsworth:] first thing first he is a calculated thieves that after something slightly wrong in his last highest, he eventually offers Sarah [Halle Berry:] an insurance broker the opportunity to change your life, but we also have Lou [Mark Ruffalo:] a detective that has been on Mike's case for some time, we also have Ormon [Barry Keoghan:] a up-and-coming criminal they would like to emulate his father's reputation as he is sent to resolve this issue and finally Maya [Monica Barbaro:] she is a well grounded woman that shows Mike there's more to life than what he is already doing.

Generally speaking: the framework and pacing and the surrounding police officers character developments have combined liver problems and the storyline/script all have little problems; such as it is a very, very good thing that this film has the list of performers I have already mentioned to somewhat deal with 140 minutes of film. As in without these performers this film would have really struggled as in one way or another they all generate some gusto for this film to run off putting to one side from minutes the action sequences which also generate some gusto as you can imagine as well.

But one thing we could have done without is this really tedious and stale surrounding police officers or I mean if we are going to have it can we not hit those really tedious character stereotypes so hard, I mean without giving too much away there is one clear point in this film where Lou's theory and/or research is 100% accurate and he still gets no backing and yet again without giving too much away the closing stages of this film could have done with some work as it leaves things on a question-mark of what happened next? Which after 140 minutes of a film I didn't want to question-marks. So what they should have done was they should have extended it to 180 minutes and split it down into two films of 90 minutes or there or thereabouts, yes they could indeed make a sequel in theory of this film but who knows.

Action and art; these action and simultaneously incorporating the art; they have been shot with looking smart and well thought out like Mike or if things go a bit south including not being in the best position to begin with there were elements of rawness between them; so I very much like the sense of how these could very easily naturally within a second notice pivot to chaos.

Character developments and performances; of the 5 characters/performers I have mentioned they are very defined characters/people even know they may be all different age ranges; they know who and in some cases what they are, so luckily enough we have 5 performers that seemingly understand their characters fluently and what is required to portray these characters and for Keoghan and Barbaro who on some level came into contact with our Marvel spearhead fitted in excellently and hopefully individually they learned from this experience and more to the point it opens up more projects for them all in the future.

This film receives: 8/10, this film is excellent; now because of the problems this has, I did struggle on giving this film a mark, because yes you have to highlight the negatives, but you also want to highlight the positives, so after some contemplating I went with this mark, as long as I highlighted this again without these 5 performers this film would have really car crash and on a quick side note the person some of this content with really enjoyed this film, they thought it was top-notch.
