An empty and flat movie.

Rating: 4/10 (19 November 2017)

Action scenes and combat were good enough for me. Marvin Bogs (actor: John Malkovich) was nicely characterized and it was delightful to watch him. But even his characterization had its own flaws.
The first bad thing that caught my eye was Frank's calmness and exorbitant "coolness". He was being assaulted by 2 SWAT squads, however, it felt like he didn't even worry, as if he was invaded a 100 times in the past and it is casual for him. Not only that assault should've been alerting, there were multiple situations, where anyone would get sweaty hands. His past was told very briefly. It wasn't enough to convince me, that he can act cool in those situations.
Directing had many flaws. The very first minutes of the movie felt really weird. Frank woke up at exactly 6:00 without any alarm, if that is not unrealistic enough, he woke up like "a robot", that was unnatural. Also when Sarah had tape on her mouth in the car, she could've easily removed it, as her hands were tied in front of her. That is minor, but still caught my eye. The way Frank exited the car was really weird and unrealistic.
Characterization lacked reason and was inadequate. Not only franks boldness was exaggerated, but while he appeared to be "professional", he fell in love with Sarah, a woman he has never seen in real life. Is he a teen?
Sarah itself had little characterization, which had no reason. She was in shock, which should've rankled her. However, she later joins Frank's company with alacrity. Also, their love was "technical". No emotions, no romance.
Marvin was a funny and interesting personality and he was characterized as very aware. The characterization on him was done well, however it had no influence to the main story. His abilities to detect threat didn't appear to have any effect in the end. Good, but useless characterization.
It was hard to understand the story itself, due to lack of origins for the events and actions. A lot of things lacked reason.
I lacked subtle, but influential details, which always buys my attention.
At least is wasn't a torment to watch the movie, but it had too many flaws.
