Wanna pass the time?

Rating: 5/10 (28 February 2020)

It's a good pass-the-time movie. There's some exciting action and the pacing is brisk. The score is enjoyably cheesy. The acting is fine, I guess. Although, the actress who played Stanley's girlfriend kinda sucked and holy crap she was annoying.
However, Ed Harris really stands out, but that's not a surprise, he's amazing in everything. He brings a lot of intensity and passion to his character whose motivations are ones you can understand and sympathize with.
The cast is stellar. It's got Oscar winners and nominees. And there's people here that became somewhat big in the years following, like John C Mckinley and Bokeem Woodpine.
The writing is not that great; particularly the dialogue. The sequence of events is also predictable. However, I will give the writers credit that they definitely put forth effort when it came to defining the characters. But I will say this regarding Hummel: Sure, you understand why he's doing what he's doing, but his plan makes you think, "You're clearly a man of justice, reason, and honor, so this plan of yours doesn't seem consistent with your character. And therefore, I have a hard time believing anyone would be afraid that you would do it. I certainly didn't think you would." It's like with Killmonger, except you know he's a sadist whose been tortured his whole life and is overcome with rage. So his plan feels consistent with his character. But not Hummel. Sure, he's angry but he's not a bad guy.
And the editing can be awful.
And none of the jokes lands.
