The Collective, like many other action movies that came before it, is pretty much the same as every other B-rated action movie out there. This one doesn't stand out as anything different, nor entertaining. Just a cluster of crap dialogue, a bored Tyrese, and spliced up action sequences like the Taken 3's fence jumping scene.
What really pains me is just how generic and same it is to every other action movie there is. There's the typical "evil bad guy" with the Bond villain evil plan, the usual "secret agency" that is secretive and highly skilled, and the newcomer that has a lot to learn and then becomes a bada** towards the end. Whoopi doo...
Couldn't the writers have thought of anything else that isn't just ripping off the James Bond formula? Like I've heard of so many action movies that have identical plots like this. Only this one is as generic, if not, even more painfully terrible than anything I've ever seen. At least it's not Steven Segal bad with him being untouchable and always being some edgy bada**. Still, don't think for a second that this is any bit better; it's not.
