You know that old joke, some people only read books with pictures? Well... some people apparently only enjoy movies with explosions. This is like a mix of cheap Mission Impossible and plastic Fast and the Furious, with a dash of hyperactive Transformers, but only the dumbest parts. It's an action movie, that is only action. Does Michael Bay think the audience will fall asleep unless he blows something up in every scene? Ryan Reynolds is funny. We can all agree he is funny. Is that enough to support the weight of an entire movie? Not here. I want to watch something a bit more clever, with an actual story. Like Money Heist. Characters you can invest in. This makes The Bourne franchise look like art films. The stunt people certainly deserve the checks, but this director should be sticking to beer commercials or pyrotechnic laden half time shows. Over the top is hilarious and glorious in the hands of Tarantino. Here, it is not only empty, but juvenile. If it was intentional to replace good story telling with -- you guessed it -- explosives, no wonder it's a bomb and a dud at that. I fugure, some 10 year olds will think this is awesome. BOOM!
