Big on gruff & buff, not much else

Rating: 5/10 (25 October 2016)

Perhaps it was naive to expect much in this genre, but given rather complimentary reviews I took the chance. What a disappointment. Throwing money at a movie gets you lots of gruff & buff; big explosions, amazing stunts, scores of hotties and all the predictable stuff in this type of movie. Is it too much to ask for a decent plot, clever dialogue and some acting with a pinch of believability? Not short on eye candy & raising the pulse from time to time, but the obvious weaknesses in the plot & events, coupled with corny & insipid dialogue and some b-grade acting made this a rather tedious two hours. Never been so disappointed in a Metacritic rating before.
