Review of 211

211 (2018)
4/10
Predictable Action Film
26 January 2022
Warning: Spoilers
While the cast members are appealing, the setting and the film are very predictable. There seems to be a few things among the missing like-

Characters that have some depth. Everyone here is a card board cut out and difficult to relate with.

Interpol Agent who seems almost deleted on the final cut. This agent really seems to find their stuff coming in from out of the blue without a clue finding clues.

Ride along who you know is going to be a hero and though you root for them, trying to understand how they are so patient sitting in an suv for hours on end to get rescued?

Bank Robbers who go to the one bank named by a rich guy they kill when they could have gone to any bank, why?

Best dialog in the film- Cage talking to their ride along about school bullies which almost gets you involved.

Worst things about film- the pauses between the action, and the way it goes from day to night in like seconds. The strange powering up of a cell phone using a 9 volt battery. The way characters just pop into sequences from out of nowhere.

While the action is predictable the good thing is it makes the film move along. Another good thing, it is around 90 minutes long and in this case, the shorter is better. Problem is that the final cut appears choppy like maybe the best parts of the film never get into the movie. We wuz robbed?
