Meh

Rating: Null/10 (4 July 2017)

I still prefer Walter Hills 1978 Driver.
Visually enticing but lacking development, story and impetus to keep me interested. People were walking out of the theatre and not for bathroom breaks. One guy laughed throughout at the weirdest bits, which I am really trying to remember what they were.
Too many quick cuts made the movie, for me disjointed and messy but then that is like most movies that seem to push this genre.
Seemed to be a hash up movie of Point Break, The Hitcher and the venerable and still relevant (and better) Walter Hills Driver with Ryan O'Neil, which I might add had no stupid music running through it. Maybe it's because I did not empathise with the lead character, who to me was a stroppy teenager who did not like his father figure, in the super sized shape of Kevin Spacey (now a rotund Keyser Söze) who has spent more of his limited screen time being the lead character until his untimely end which was annoyingly Hollywood and predictable.
Jamie fox should have just shot everyone and the movie would have been better for it and again his over emphasised pointless demise came to quickly. John Hamm spent most of his time trying to be Jamie Fox and failed multiple times.
So I either did not see what everyone else is gushing over or I just prefer movies that don't keep slapping you over the head every five seconds with stuff that really does not make the movie any better.
Had I not paid £12.50 I would have walked out myself.
Forgettable movie and not one I'd like to keep in my collection.
