The picture receives a five for excitement. The plot seems to set up a possible series. 120 million for a movie to be seen on Netflix is overkill. The skills of Melanie Laurent were not utilized. She is one terrific actor. It seem that Ryan Reynolds was added to make money while he was between pictures, then the script scrapped. Corey Hawkins and Ben Hardy are the only ones allowed to add to their resumes. It's awful when a chase scene begins at the outset of the movie only to fill in the required 90-minutes, then conclude with more excitement. A few more minutes of watching the dictator-elect in action making decisions might give relevance for Ryan Reynolds as One picking this particular former-Soviet bloc country to begin his Man from Uncle quest. The supposed gaffe translated into xxxxxxxxx languages might possibly add to the number of Netflix viewers. It was irrelevant. The dragon from GOT could have set down in the desert while still clutching Daenerys and set off still in its grips to scatter the jets. Anyone who follows movies such as Deadpool and Green Lantern would have found this scene relevant.

If this movie exposed a flaw in the NYPD is not to address the SWAT making their own rules and getting away with it. There were so many cliches, Why were all the bad people in the bank killed? I don't believe that you can reduce a gold bar into the shape of copper pipe, not can you lift. A steel tamping bar is heavy so the absurd notion that a person could carry an armful bends reality. It's a shame that blondie wasn't given a cover story that she works for THE MAN FROM UNCLE. Who was the person giving the information on the cell phone? Some of the info came from within the trailer. Was it the bruised woman? Why didn't anyone in the trailer know there was a leak or at least keep a supposed witness in the area where they could hear something and report it to someone inside the bank.
