Hard to know what to make of it

Rating: 6/10 (17 July 2013)

Like most of the critics, I had a very mixed reaction to this Fantasy Heist Caper from Transporter director Louis Letterier. The film left me mesmerised of course, but not because of a clever plot or brilliant performances (of which none were really exceptional), but because I felt pranked or rused by what I had just seen. The film has some spectacular moments granted, from car chases and explosions to FANTASTIC visual effects, but in turn almost swaps what could have been a very clever storyline for a thinly plotted film that is expected to hang on star quality and humour which usually fail to hold a film. My advice would be to see it for yourself. It's by no means a masterpiece, but will entertain for a while.
