Generic, emotionless and boring

Rating: 3/10 (23 July 2015)

I looked forward to this film. I remember thinking that the first images were promising. When the trailer came out, I thought that it would be formulaic, but it still looked as if it had some potential. What a disappointment. I almost walked out. The set up dragged on, fights were unconvincing and acting was average. The most boring part was the direction. I still think that with the material at hand a more dynamic film could have been made with a few stricter choices in editing. The use of music was unbearable. As if the predictable script hadn't been enough, we had to be reminded of the importance of certain moments by loud and dramatic music. Dialogues don't ring true and mostly serve to convey information necessary for the development of the story. A waste of talent.
