The first shootout in the hotel room is just bad, like really bad. Not just the filming, but the way it's choreographed is completely stupid. One guy has an AK47 shooting through the window while the guy inside hides under the bed. Huh? The rounds from that would penetrate the brick walls of the place, there is no hiding behind something. For added senseless mayhem, an innocent woman is shot in the back outside the room.
Then tattoo-boy who is too cool to be afraid yells out, "We're clear." No, you aren't clear. Money is flying up off of the bed in an attempt to stylize this intelligence-insulting scene. How does it rain up? Then tattoo-boy fired about ten rounds at the guy from pointblank and misses? That is some truly terrible shooting.
A ridiculous foot pursuit follows this with both men at a pace like they may or may not want to catch the bus that is passing by, but if they miss it, no biggie. The tattoo-boy takes a swan dive off of a stair balcony for no real reason, something that probably would have put him in a wheelchair for life which would have sped him up as he can't run. Another innocent citizen is shot in a shopping mall. In the aftermath, the cop who was shot literally just needs a band-aid. I don't think gunshots work like that. The round hit him square enough to knock him to the floor.
They have four writers on this thing and none of them can see that there is a typo in a headline of a news article shown onscreen: "Drug Lord Sentanced to Life in Prison." Now that is some quality film making.
The kid's like eight but only three candles on his birthday cake? So, the writers can't spell or count.
Ridiculously choreographed and pointless bar fight right out of The Dukes of Hazzard.
The funny thing, or perhaps the pathetic thing about this mess is that even worse than everything I've already written, the casting makes all that seem like Citizen Kane by comparison. It's like they didn't even do any casting and just had a raffle for the parts.
