Oh my, I had such high hopes for this, but what a horrible movie. The characters are enjoyable enough (and the actors do a good job with what they have to work with), but that's about it. The car chase at the beginning is just plain stupid--it's just the same tired Bay schtick for ten long and repetitive minutes. As with much of the action scenes throughout, it's just not enjoyable to watch. If this film is indicative of Michael Bay's "growth" as a director, he might consider doing a romcom next--maybe that will give him a chance to do something original for a change. Two thumbs and two big toes down on this car wreck of a movie.
