Terrible - mostly just extreme sports

Rating: 1/10 (2 June 2016)

This movie was terrible. It had the signature trademark of a brand of Hollywood films which are shallow and which focus on sexy girls and being "cool" and "dangerous" but in fact, none of the characters were believable or authentic and there was no character build-up and no sense of empathy for them. Without giving a spoiler, the "bad" guys that the FBI agent is trying to expose actually have a good reason for what they are doing - but it is completely misplaced in the plot and it has nothing to do with the original thematic thread of the original make of this movie. The lead actor simply doesn't act. He's just a sporty-guy. There was some good extreme sports scenes, but nothing more than one might find on YouTube, otherwise, bad acting, boring and trite plot. The original make of this movie with Keanu Reeves and Patrick Swayze was the cream. Too bad because there are a few decent names in this new rendering. Anyhow, I hate to be so negative about it but I literally couldn't watch it anymore after about 40 minutes into the film and I had been looking forward to seeing this movie.
