Watching it on tv I still wanted a refund


An explosion on a busy street with not 1 but 2 armored trucks involved and the scene isn't flooded with police cars?

Jesse ditching that big bag in broad daylight?

Jesse's run was not only unbelievable (good camera work though) but the fact that the 2 cops never lost him was absurd.

The sister? The Russians? It was as if the writer didn't know what to do with them in the story and decided to wing it.

It never made sense that the gang would trust T.I.'s character in the first place.

Music doing the gunfight was gawd awful.

Most of the cast wasn't onscrren long enough for you to give a damn about their characters at the end.

Did anyone wonder why Lily was suddenly a character we should know?

At the point where the movie should have ended it started up again.


I wish I had a Kryptonite cross, because then I could keep Dracula & Superman away.

Director to Screenwriter : " We need a great parkour segment, that can also demonstrate Jesse's previously unrevealed Olympic gymnastic abilities".

It could have been a standout action sequence. Instead the director chooses to fill it with deafening classical music and slow motion action, whilst still keeping the rapid fire editing. Just very disappointing!

With such a large ensemble cast and a movie length of only 107 minutes, did we really need characters like Naomi?

Zoe Saldana's role as Lilly was barely a cameo, yet her character suffers a mysterious fate the details of which, are never clearly explained to us. Again you have to wonder why the character was included in the final cut.🐭
