Dumb freaking' movie

Warning: Spoilers
This movie comes in second as one of the dumbest movies I've seen in the last year. The first one is the terrible remake of Point Break.

Apparently Ed Skrein was on Game of thrones. I don't remember him on that amazing show so he must have been terrible. Either way he's no Jason Statham and based on his terrible wooden performance in this unnecessary garbage of a remake, he will hopefully remain a nobody.

I have nothing nice to say about this crap.

Frank Martin was a smart operator and highly intelligent when he was played by Statham. Skreins version acts retarded. Neither him, nor his father, with the same name, (what a dumb idea) ever seem to even care, no matter what happens to them.

The movie drags on and on and the actionscenes are lame and seen a 100 times before. How many times do we have to watch the hero being chased by the local police though narrow streets in some European city? How many times do we have to believe that not only do the local police drive crappy little cars, but they're also complete inept drivers who crashes their cars first chance they get.

And the father is kidnapped twice, because I guess the writers ran out of ideas.

And don't even get me started on the product placement. Pretty much every scene either shows brands of alcohol, cars or smartphones and it's not enough to mention a certain vodka, no it has to be praised too in the scene. It made me really angry.

On top of that this movie takes place in 2010. The leads all have iphone 5 or 5s. These models didn't even exist in 2010.

That just shows you how retarded this pile of crap really is.

It still amazes me when movies like this get greenlighted with as inept actors as Ed Skrein to replace as good an actor as Jason Statham. And yes Statham is a good actor. Watch the movie Hummingbird, if you don't believe me.

Avoid this. Even if you're paid to see it. Avoid it. Watch the original three with Statham instead. The third one is terrible but practically a Shakespeare play, compared to this piece of crap.
