How is this rated 7 with so many 7+ reviews?

Rating: 2/10 (24 January 2019)

Denzel Washington is an incredible actor and thrillers are my favorite genre of film, so I was sure this would be great given the high ratings. It starts out alright, but quickly escalates into some of the most ridiculous ideas I've ever seen presented on film. The basic ideas could have maybe worked, but the way they are presented here is so dumb that I just couldn't look past it. Ended up turning the movie off and then tried to resume watching the next day, still couldn't get past how stupid it was. The performances are fine, the direction is not terrible but not great - lots of those quick zooms that were popular in the 2000s but did not age well. I guess the high ratings must be a reflection of the average intelligence level of people, because its rare for me to have to turn something off because of being unrealistic but this was just too much.
