I had resisted seeing this movie as I am not an action picture devotee. But the reviews were so glowing I figured I’d give it a shot. I’m still angry at myself. I could have been grouting the bathroom or cleaning my gutters. This cliche riddled, underwritten, over acted mind-pollution of a movie was laughable. Even the flying sequences were stuffed with over importance. Each ‘plot turn’ was painfully foreshadowed and somehow, this contrivance of a script dragged top notch actors like Teller, Connelly, and Hamm into B movie performances. Has the Hollywood takeover by the Marvel Cinematic Universe numbed us all to the point of submission?
