The film is absolutely predictable in almost every story aspect. It's so full of clichés and cheap storytelling that you can already foresee the whole plot after watching the first 20 Minutes.
I don't expect exciting twists or unpredictable developments in movies, but if the plot is so dull that you quickly get bored or even annoyed by the clichés... then that's just bad.
In other areas, the plot is simply absurd. I don't want to spoiler too hard, but: That a group of 20 criminals travels to a western country fully equipped with guns, explosives and RPG's, starts a Shootout in the capital of said country and then is only confronted with a handful of the most idiotic acting cops ever and after their attack can disappear again without a trace.. That's just ridiculous. Especially when you consider that this group basically had less than a few hours to prepare for this attack.
It's a shame that the plot is so annoying, because the camera and editing in particular have created impressive scenes. The acting performances are also convincing and the movie sound is also well made. It's just a shame that all the good effects and work don't help to get over the broken plot.
Overall a sub-average action movie. Nothing wrong with seeing it a single time on a lazy evening, but definitely nothing I'd watch a second time.
