You could hardly make out the dialogue because the ambiance and action music was so jacked up...there are lots of movies like that nowadays....wtf?

Movie not so hot but I will admit that Christopher Meloni's acting is pretty good.

Yes agree and music which has become a sound effect with heavy drumming as if there is a thunder storm in a building.

Thank for agreeing. Why do they do that? Are they mental? It's no wonder that a struggling film struggles even more with incompetent movie sound mixers.

I'm watching this at home now and I'm constantly jacking up the volume to max then having to mute. Annoying movie in a bunch of different ways.

Watch it with subtitles and most of your problems will go away.

I didn't notice any problem with the mixing...

Totally agree ! Which made an impossible film to follow even more impossible !

Didn't get far enough to make a good judgement on the sound mixing. I gave up a couple of minutes in when some bank manager goes out he door and is knocked back in slow-mo from a shotgun blast... where very clearly there his shirt is pristine and un touched in the slow-mo knock back, but then suddenly when he is on the floor his chest is covered in blood... I can't take a movie seriously when their special effects are that shitty... it brought back memories of old fight scenes from the Avengers TV series where you could tell it wasn't even the actors fighting. Complete shit.
