Lens flares that cover the entire screen, random cuts, pointless dialog, poor continuity and a carbon copy of a Transformers soundtrack. The Michael Bay algorithm was in full swing here. The only thing that made it watchable was Ryan Reynolds and his delightful humor.

I didn't get what the characters were about... they were happy to go hurtling through streets, bad guys in tow, causing all kinds of havoc and death without a second thought of the innocent people getting wiped out. But then in the next scene they are portrayed as these morally sound heros willing to risk it all without asking for recognition or reward.

On a good note the action was fun to watch despite the mostly unbelievable choreography. I mean at one point a guy, shot and bleeding profusely, jumps over 40 feet from a bridge on to the deck of a boat, lands flat on his face, get ups as if it cured his bullet wound and keeps fighting for another 30 minutes.

Anyway it was frustrating to watch but if you like stock standard action films and Ryan Reynolds you will probably enjoy this but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone I know.
