Below Average and Underwhelming


I only watched episode one and I found it to be far below expectations. It's not a great story/plot and there is one good action scene at the beginning and then a decent one at the end. I can't stand the writing and melodramatic style. E.g. Mel Gibson's character is pissed off so he tells one of his henchmen to commit suicide. The next scene as other characters are walking into the building, the guy splats on the ground in the background, oh my what a coincidence. We also have to have popular songs to introduce us to every new area, the only thing missing was the slow motion. Additionally the characters are not well developed so when impactful things happen, they fall flat. I'm not sure I will finish it. 4/10
