With perhaps one notable exception, Ryan Reynolds is one of those actors that can make just about any movie great. I suppose he decided to put that to the test by signing on for a Netflix movie, directed by Michael Bay (the king of overly dramatic and patriotic shot and the slow motion explosion!) For me, MB is a parody of himself, with a barrage of REALLY dramatic shots that feel like the work of a 2nd year film student. Bay's work feels very dated, like a shoulder padded jacket from the early 90s. RR (in my book) is a great talent, whose at home playing a leather clad superhero or a demonically possessed step father. Even he couldn't save a MB movie from itself.
