OK but too glossy

Rating: 5/10 (16 September 2019)

Watchable, well acted but it all comes over as fairly shallow, not very convincing, even cheesy at times. The incessant action sequences all blend into one and it feels like one big turkey shoot; perhaps it was really like that, but I very much doubt it. It's a good story, more so because it's based on real-life events, but the incessant pace never really gives time for the viewer to breath. The tone is consistently too glossy, even when horrible events are portrayed. Consequently it fails to be hard-hitting, and lacks tension or real grit. The levity doesn't do justice to the subject material.
