Action packed

Rating: 5/10 (30 November 2014)

If you love action movies and don't care for much else you might love this film. I didn't.
The premise is really interesting and, being a true story, if you know what happens you won't be entirely disappointed by watching it to the end. As a film, it falls down with an absence of any character development at all - we have no reason to care for the characters and we don't know how strong their relationships with each other are. There's no reason to actually care for any of them.
The film focuses on heavy, extended action sequences for its entertainment value. Its entertaining enough but, ultimately, the film fails to be anywhere near as it could have been because of a lack of focus on story telling and character development. 5/10 from me
