We have a white dude killing an impossible amount of "browns" (arabs) gangsters, showing how superior he is in both, skill and smarts, but also being the better person (a criminal, but a good one, with a past yes, but haunts him because he is in fact good), when compared with the diabolical enemies.

To get there, the writers had to force alot of scenes, losing every bit of the realism gained by the setting and production. In the end, this movie is as realistic as any superhero movie (and less than many of them, even).

Having said that, the action is superb. While the characters aren't more than avatars and the story as thin as possible (rescuing X, in the hands of X in the City X), the chase sequences and shootouts are insane. Some are "one take" long shots. Not in the ridiculously boring 1917 way, with minutes and minutes of nothing BUT IN ONE SHOT. And not in the unnecessary Birdman way, that brought nothing to the story, but more in the "Children of Men" way (even if that movie is way better).

For the action? 10 pts. For all the rest? 0 pts. Result? 5 pts.
