If I were a movie studio executive who was handed the budget of this movie ($150 million), I would use the money to make a number of 5 to 10 million dollar movies helmed by directors and writers who showed me originality and creativity. I certainly wouldn't blow it on one movie, especially one that would be directed by someone (in this case, Michael Bay) who has repeatedly in the past made overblown and near incoherent movies. With this movie, Bay proves sadly that he's not only not slowing down, he is actually getting worse at his craft. The story in this movie makes almost no sense, from it's ultra high speed unfolding to the fact that many plot details seem missing. The characters are cold and not the least bit sympathetic, from their lack of depth to the fact that they inflict their sadism on everybody (including innocent bystanders). And the action sequences make pretty much no sense, from their rapid editing to their poor direction and choreography. In short, this movie is an over two hour long headache. Though sadly it will probably get a lot of looks from curious Netflix users, and Netflix will subsequently look at the ratings and greenlight a sequel. No thanks, Netflix.
