DIRTY (half) DOZEN....

Rating: 1/10 (31 December 2017)

There is NOTHING original about this film. The writer/director took the plot from THE DIRTY DOZEN and superhero-ed it up. 2 dimensional plot - 2 dimensional acting - 2 dimensional heroes - 2 dimensional dialogue - 2 dimensional directing - 2 dimensional villains -2 dimensional movie experience... it would be ironic if this film was presented in 3D, wouldn't it?
This film used EVERY filmmaking beat-a-dead-horse cliche' in the book. The writer also used the formulaic Hollywood check list and used almost every one of them. BORING - BORING - BORING!
The "only" thing that kept my interest was seeing how many shots Margot Robbie was seen walking away from CAMERA in her short-shorts and trying to spot which Toronto locations I could identify in the film. She is a fine actress and obviously had fun making the film. I also like Jared but try as he might, nothing can now come close to Heath's portrayal of the Joker. He set the standard...forever. I don't even want to get into Mr. Smith's portrayal...he continues to play by the Hollywood A-list actor ego handbook. Boring...
