From the previews you should know exactly what you are going to get. I was fooled I knew it wouldn’t be good but I thought it would be fun. Unfortunately as much as the film tried it wasn’t

The only two actors who really make a mark are Jason Patric and Chris Evans because they seem to realize what type of film they are in and are just having fun while everybody else is here obviously for a paycheck. I did enjoy Zoe Saldana in the movie but that’s more because of the scenes where she is in states of undress. Idris Elba looks bored and Jeffrey Dean Morgan looks bloated and bored but the funny thing is he is supposed to be the leader but in his action scenes barely seems to do anything it’s more like the action happens around him. I was disappointed in Columbus short most of all because up until now he has been noteworthy in most of the films he has appeared in and he drops the ball here. But then again there isn’t mush to work with.


The film plays like you would expect a film based on a graphic novel would it’s very colorful very loose and tries to make everything look like fun. I’m sure they had fun filming it but knew how ridiculous this film is.

The film is about a group of Black Op agents who are thought to be killed after disobeying orders. They lay low in bolivia until they are hired to get revenge on the CIA Agent who left them for dead

The movie is nothing special it plays like a lot of action films you have seen before. It’s entertaining to watch but you will forget about it immediately after you watch there is nothing here that really sticks with you it’s quick and dumb. In fact it was over before I really knew it. The action scenes didn’t feel like anything nothing of note to them or the film. Nor were they impressive especially if this is a action film you would think that would be the one thing to get right.

It’s not horrible, It just wasn’t my cup of tea. Wait For Cable
