I cannot believe how bad it is. First, I love Russell Crowe. I HATE this movie. This movie is written by someone with serious issues. It is ridiculous, and every time nobody does the normal thing, but just lets this train wreck keep happening it’s maddening. None of this makes sense - Crowe is menacing as the absolute nut job he’s playing, a little over the top, but that’s not what kills this movie. There’s no suspense, it’s so ham-handed that it’s beyond ludicrous. Even the random mention of the FORTNITE strategy. Oh wait is that an example of foreshadowing?!?! Yeah all the subtlety of a Sherman tank there. Dear God, it just gets worse and worse. Every possible wrong decision is made by our heroine, people around her, and does nobody in this movie have a f^*^ing phone?!?! Yeah, if a psycho was hunting me down and killing my family, if I got away I’d definitely go to my Mom’s house, park right out front SO HE KNOWS WHERE TO FIND ME, and try to take him down myself with a golf club and some scissors. Then the ridiculous hero line as she deals the death blow. Come on, guys. The only reason this movie is it all predictable, is because Crowe is not the only one ‘unhinged’….Everyone else in this movie is acting like they don’t have a brain to share between them, or like they’re acting in a movie, a really, really bad movie. What a stinker.

If inane violence, blood and silliness are on your priority list, go no further than this movie. Sadly, I found the violence predictable and too over the top, the acting poor, and somebody in the making of this movie has an unhealthy fascination with flashy ways to kill birds. After an hour or so, I had to fast forward to the end. Couldn’t see anything earth shattering develop that would make wasting time worth it. Even Idris Elba couldn’t sweeten the deal. Yikes. I thought the first movie had the most ridiculous villain in it, but I had no idea that they could make even that look good. Won’t put any spoiler alerts in here, but a poor man’s cartoonish ‘Alien’ didn’t do it for me. All the cute references aside, Margot Robbie and John Crna didn’t make it watchable. Total loss. Going to have to watch Snyder’s cut of Justice League to make the evening palatable.
