The final confrontation was a little short action-wise IMO


I enjoyed this film overall, but when I first saw it I was a little disappointed with the final action scene for two reasons:

1. The shootout between Statham's character and the henchmen in the limo was only about 10 seconds long. I mean, he technically shoots three bad guys pretty quickly and the shootout is over before it began in a few seconds IMO. My point is, I was hoping for a little longer shootout that's all, LOL.

2. After crashing the car into the bus, both him and Ben Foster's character basically walk up to the main bad guy and shoot him with their machine guns...and that's it for the finale action scene. Literally, this whole scene was maybe two minutes long and I was hoping for it to go on longer with a chase or something.

These were the only minor complaints that I had for this film, and the reason I gave it a 7.5/10 instead of an 8/10 like I was hoping it would've been worthy of. It's a good action movie overall but that last action sequence was over TOO soon IMO. Agree?
