So frustrating! Just communicate!

If the characters in this film just freaking communicated with each other like normal human beings this movie would be over by the midpoint - well before Manny gets the envelope.

But noooooo! The characters have to be vague and terrible explainers.

Seriously, just tell Manny "Yo, dude that package is money to import a girls son into the country and a corrupt cop is trying to steal it. Can we maybe stop and talk about this?"

Done. Movie over.

I mean I understand that they don't do this so that the movie isn't 40 minutes long. But a good film doesn't have to rely on implausibility to make it work.

Agreed. The writers got lazy.

they made a lot of very strange decisions with this one. Its so dumb it kills you enjoyment of some halfway decent chase scenes.

Stupid comments will be ignored. Good luck!

The bike scenes were good (in my opinion) i found those scenes alone to be literally fast-paced, they could have put more effort in with the rest of the story.

Yep, the exact reason I came here to post. That whole chasing Manny bit was a bit unbelievable. With a little thought the writers could have made it more believable. (Busted phone, etc.)
