Confused by the praise

Rating: 3/10 (30 June 2015)

After hearing nothing but good words about the movie, I decided it was time to go see it. After finishing it, I was confused by the disparity between my opinion of the movie and the reception it got. Sure, the movie is original, it does not use clichés and has really surprising moments, but the positives end there. The action scenes were way too graphic, to the point where I asked myself: what is the point of this? Some of the stunts pulled by the main character were downright unrealistic. From an acting standpoint, the movie did mostly fine, the actors were believable in their roles, even if sometimes hard to understand, but that's British accents for you.
I would say, watch this movie if you are someone who lives for action movies. And don't be fooled by the "comedy" tag. This move is NOT a comedy, and does not contain funny moments. It passes more as an action thriller really.
