Hilariously Bad and Stupid with some okay parts


The freerunning scenes were nice and I think the plot could have worked with a good cast of actors and proper buildup...but the only one even trying somewhat is the main character, everyone else pretty much sucks...save for the guy running the minor league freerunning stuff who makes empty threats.

I tried to watch this movie; I went into it expecting the plot to be so banal and nonsensical even Michael Bay would have demanded it be rewritten, but I'm interested in Parkour and thought that at least ninety minutes of Free-running wouldn't be so bad.

But holy crap the editing. This is the first movie to literally start giving me a headache. Too much shaky-cam nonsense, too many odd-ball jump-cuts from and to weird angles--I couldn't make it through the first fifteen minutes.

I couldn't even make it through the trailer. 25 seconds was too much.
