I didn't see Bay as the director before watching this, but I figured it out pretty quickly.

The opening scene is an excellent display of special effects and destruction, one that I'll watch over again in the coming years, it's that good.

The movie itself is a popcorn flick. Quick scenes, quick transitions, and cool-guy dialogue abounds; nothing wrong with that, it never tries to be anything else.

You've seen every scene in this movie before, somewhere or other. The Losers (2010) came to mind almost immediately.

I frankly lost the exact story for a bit about a half-hour in, but it's not a complicated plot; you'll find it again. My confusion - without giving it away - was due to the way it was written, and then edited together, and not because of cannabis at all, I'm certain.

I'll be adding this to my pile of re-watchable action movies.
