| Looks good, problem is now I don't feel like I need to see it because I just watched it.
Maybe I'm just jaded from a lifetime of movie trailers? |

| It’s a fun movie. No brain cell was harmed or involved watching this movie. Most enjoyable time waster. He won’t be getting an Oscar any time soon. The plot escalates from a scammer to unpredictable heights. 0-0

Yes. And the son of the President is beyond compare when it comes to arrogance and stupidity. |

Striker in waiting
| Mrs.BurtonRW and I were ready for a mindless popcorn flick. Statham’s fight scenes did not disappoint (except for the expected one-at-a-time attacks and storm trooper-like accuracy from folks trying to shoot him). However, the rest of the film in every conceivable way was a steaming pile of crap, IMHO. Bad casting, bad characters, thoroughly unbelievable everything. The big non-twist because you’d have to be blind not to have picked up on it an hour earlier. Yeah… I’m DEFINITELY glad we didn’t purchase this one. And the whole bee thing. Extremely shoehorned into every line where bees were discussed. I wouldn’t call this an enjoyable film, and I like plenty of cheap / low budget stuff. -Rob

| Just watched it on Prime. Great, mindless shoot-em-up.
Thoroughly enjoyed it. |

| I was expecting him to throw a big hornet nest into the call center. It would have been much better than two cans of gasoline. |

| I liked it a lot. Just what I expected from a Jason Statham movie. Nice kills and a good body count.

| Watched it with the family last night. The two teens loved the action. I thought it was a good mindless action flick. |

The movie has a lot of buzz about it. It was mindless fun playing off the vicarious thrill of going rambo on scammer call centers.
"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.
