This film kept my attention and didn’t bore me, but it was hard to ignore some things. There was a lot of stuff that didn’t make sense. A couple things: Why was the FBI ignoring everything?, Why did the criminals just let Iliza Shlesinger and Alan Arkin just walk away when they showed up to the rendezvous? Why does Wahlberg needs to fist fight the bad guy when he already caught him and told him he’s going to jail? There’s a lot of these things here. Iliza Shlesinger’s character was really unnecessary and was really only used to show us how attractive Mark Whalberg is and how women love him. This wasn’t as self indulgent as other vehicles for action stars (I’m looking at you XXX: THE RETURN OF XANDER CAGE), but it still had it’s problems. The bad guy is also really obvious from minute one. During the final fight both Whalberg and Bookine Woodbine looked lumbering and slow. They’re both getting old. Post Malone also felt like a hat on a hat and was just used to get more clicks at Netflix. Winston Duke was the best part of the film.
