That was an absolute editing nightmare filled the the lid with product placements and unbelievably bad actors playing the roles of unbelievable bad guys.

The 100,000 or so ludicrous-speed cuts may induce an epileptic seizure (an actual warning just before the movie begins). The movie jumps back and forth through past and present without explanation at a furious pace-only stopping momentarily to frame a Lavazza coffee cup or a Heineken beer or any other of the plethora of sponsors. Lots and lots of ad money.

I think this movie feels as if you hooked your brain up to a computer and downloaded a lifetime of memories in 5 seconds-but the memories are useless and stupid and there are 2 hours of them.

And the completely unnecessary violence? I feel like Michael Bay was told to keep the violence to a minimum and he was all like, "Now I'm totally going to brutally murder 2000 people for literally no reason whatsoever-and I'm going to show EVERYTHING." Did anyone else scrunch and raise their eyebrows at all the unnecessary innocent casualties caused by the "good guys"?

What was the parkour guy there for? I mean, his position on various rooftops is solely so he can parkour down to the ground when he's needed? Why is he always up there to begin with?

In all fairness, I imagine this movie might have been much better if the cut was a full 3 hours long before some exec told Bay to cut it down to 2 hours. So he left all the action scenes and removed literally everything else. I have no idea if that's true. But I hope it is, because WTF?

It's a heist movie without the planning parts. I have no idea what happened but there were loads of incredibly corny one-liners stacked up like an assembly line of cheese.

They spent a lot of money of this, though-mainly on the explosions and dismembered bodies.

The ONLY redeeming part of this film is Ryan Reynolds. As usual, he carried the movie as best he could but something tells me he was told to keep to the script more than usual. So it's not your full RR experience.

I call it a movie because it's certainly not a film. It's the kind of mindless action you can watch with your loud buddies and miss just as much of the plot as if you watched it alone.

I gave it 3 stars only because of Reynolds.

Mildly entertaining cuz 'splosions.
