This is a Guy Ritchie film? Could have fooled me. Not worth your time.

There is literally zero indication Guy Ritchie had anything to do with this film unless you saw his name on the poster.

The script is laughable. The plot is generic with bland characters. Such a shame. I should have just re watched Lock Stock And Two Smoking Barrels.

Whoever the costume person was that picked those dumb helmets for the depot robbery needs to learn you can't use airsoft bump helmets in place of ballistic helmets. They are covered in vent holes FFS. They're not going to stop any bullets...

They did though...

You're missing the point. Wardrobe specifically picked helmets with holes in to act as ballistic helmets...So dumb.

Them were plot holes! Bullets dissapear into nothingness in them. Don't forget that wardrobe gave Statham his stealth clothes as well.

I was baffled after that god awful stale and lifeless and corny opening shot that starts the movie and then they threw up Ritchie's name and I was like what??? You were proud of that? That's how you opened your movie?

If Ritchie was genuinely involved in anything with this film except for getting paid to slap his name on it, I'd be shocked.

Honestly, that was my exact impression from the film. I don't think it's possible he was behind the camera for these shots. I think he walked around like a producer, barked out orders, and put it together in the editing room later. He's clearly in charge of the production. For an LA based American film, it was packed to the gills with European actors. All Ritchie's friends, surely. The whole thing stinks of a good times cash grab. I mean there was definitely an attempt here to do something not in the Guy Ritchie style, with all of the slow pans and long takes. It felt film school experimental, almost embarrassing. Made all the more bizarre by Statham giving the roll 100 percent with no trace of irony. It was a weird movie but I really did like it.

I thought it was a fun flick. I would watch it again.

Hold on to that AC/DC shirt then.
