This is awful. If you've seen the trailer, you've seen the best bits of the film - indeed, better than the film, as the trailer is edited more crisply. This is like something made by an amateur who neither knows how to make films nor has a sense of humour. I have no idea how this got made.

Chris Rock's acting is so bad, it is painful to watch. I toughed it out for forty minutes then turned the film off. Just awful.

This is pretty good. It is rather an old fashioned cop thriller, in that it has an actual plot (with characters) that is not overwhelmed by the action sequences (of which there are lots). Casting is very good, as is the script. No real surprises but it is nevertheless better than most Hollywood films you'll watch.

Netflix doesn't really do films, it does IDEAS for films, which it then neglects to develop into actual, y'know, films. This is a case in point. Decent/good cast, big budget - and ten minutes in you could pretty much write the entire script, scene by scene, for what follows is a string of CGI-based action sequences as shot by the bloke who makes Givenchy ads, all in 'exotic' locations (coz these are INTERNATIONAL super spies, geddit?), with not a single surprise or even a development. It reproduces every cliche of the genre, right down to facial expressions, and becomes so silly, so absurdly, tastelessly overblown, I actually became angry. Is this really the best producers can do? Could they maybe pretend that not everyone is this thick? By the end I was concerned that my IQ was falling dangerously low and, just before the finish, turned off.

This is awful, a pile of slow-motion, CGI cack with no story, no characters and the IQ of a weevil. If most Hollywood films are predictable, this is triply so, as the Etch a Sketch-drawn hero massacres dozens of bad guys, foils plots, blah, blah, blah, just like in every other film if its kind. Watched 30 minutes then turned it off.
