If you know Bay then you shouldn't be expecting some deep John Le Carre character arc. What he has done is one upped himself in the effects and stunt department. Yes the editing is a bit nuts. But the technical achievements in this movie are quite breathtaking. Just because something has a huge budget doesn't mean people didn't work there ass off trying to create something exciting and new and it is at the end of the day very entertaining. The CGI combined with the real parkour footage is particularly impressive. The opening car chase alone must of taking months to prepare and shoot. My hat goes off to the stunt guys. Its worth watching for that alone not to mention the locations are really quite exquisite. And Reynolds is on form as always.
