As above. I have come to the conclusion that I'm not going to watch a Netflix original anymore. Even if they appear good, they won't be.
This is basically a family film wrapped up in mild explosions etc, aiming for the Jason Bourne crowd. That film was timeless. This isn't.
What you can expect from a Netflix film (over everything else including a plot is). Diversity. So we have the boss in charge that is black (check) we have the female in her feministic girl power position (check). I was waiting patiently for the third in the formula, that is the Asian element...it wasn't happening...but wait...yep they go to Bangkok (check).
So as with any Netflix film you always have the 3 above formulas. Even if it was a western in 1920s you'd have the 3. I was just waiting for some woke scene in it somewhere to appease another crowd.
