I was very disappointed with this movie, from the trailers, posters and movie tags, this film looked sure to be a mishap comedy - It was far from it.

I made it through the whole film waiting for that one chuckle which Ryan Reynolds usually provides within his movies but I was left dumbfounded by the whole film.

I was even hoping there would be light at the end of the dark tunnel for this film, maybe his love interest in Anna Kendrick would turn his life and mentality around, nope the ending just provided a song with all the dead characters including Reynolds himself singing a 'Happy Song' which seems quite offensive to Mental Health.

Reynolds, Kendrick and Arterton provided great performances, but with how the film was shown to the public, especially as a comedy, those performances were lost in a 2 hour horror show of nothingness.

My mistake was not looking at the reviews before watching the film, I saw the title had a 6.4 before watching which persuaded me it was a good title.

3 stars, one for each of the three actors above mentioned, the others lost on a plot-less film.

I watched this on Netflix yesterday as their little teaser trailers made this look like a good bank heist film. I am usually a fan of Nicholas Cage as well so thought it might be a good watch.

I managed to get through the whole film and didn't entirely feel it was such a bad film. I would say the acting is quite bad and you could differentiate between Cage and the other actors. Especially his Partner in the film whom when gets shot in the leg, really overacts the entire ordeal.

Apart from the bad acting and abrupt ending with the mercenaries, the visuals and cameras were good.

It is a shame that the standoff was not between just the one squad car and the mercs. Instead you had the backup Police arrive that can't shoot. Not one merc in the bank gets shot from all the Police outside the bank!

I think the film deserves more than 4 star but this film had more potential.

6 stars from me.
