Slow,. Stupid and Silly

Rating: 3/10 (27 July 2019)

I am not sure what this movie is trying to achieve.
As an action movie it is very slow and the action is not very impressive or memorable. Even the action scenes are stupid and none leave any lasting impression.
As a drama it just falls flat due to completely unbelievable events and characters motivation. People don't act like people and it very early becomes clear that this is the Russel Crowe show and we are supposed to see how awesome and cool he is and everyone around him with the possible exception of batman are incompetent.
The setting is cool and the idea that a group of men need to transport a dangerous criminal to a train station is a nice idea but you can only see the guards turn their back towards him so many time until you stop taking it seriously.
The movie is really pushing the crowe/batman duo and the whole thing makes no sense to me. In the final action scenes i was completely confused on the characters motivation and why characters were doing what they were doing.
All in all the messy script ruins the movie, sure it looks nice and the actors did a nice job and if it was a dumb action movie with a run time of 1.5 hours then that would be fine. But it is not, it is a slow dumb drama and the nonsensical script ruins the movie.
