On a positive note, the first 30 minutes are really entertaining. The car chase through Florence and the death scenes are fun. For this period, you actually believe Bay can make a good adult action film with plenty of humour, blood, gore and swearing. But it's a false sense of security, believe me! It then just turns into an absolute mess, flicking forward then back, poor character story telling and the usual Bay explosions and film angles. It's all been done and seen before. I think Bay was given a really good script, he created an ok cast and was then given full creative license to do what he wants and he does, just badly.
