Don't Believe the Hipster Hype

Rating: 5/10 (12 August 2017)

Jamie freaking Fox. The man is just too much of a one note actor to be taken seriously. At this point Hollywood should consider him box office poison. Whatever. Luckily he isn't in the movie much. This film su#cks for a totally different reason. It is artificial and pretentious. It is too hipster for its own good. Plus the whole hipster thing is finally starting to get played out, thankfully. Which is another reason why this film tanked at the box office. The only good thing I can say about it is that it has a good soundtrack. The main character was different enough to be interesting but simplistic plot, played out predictable backstory and generic motivations kills whatever interest you have in this unique character and ultimately makes the movie a boring ride with repetitive action and set pieces. Long story short, the story isn't good enough to fill a two hour movie block and fans of the film will realize as much upon second viewing. Such a shame considering how we hardly get original movies anymore.
