0.5 stars out of 4 … the review says the pacing is too poor, the movie is too long (144 mins), scenes are repetitive , cliches are plentiful

This review says that there is too many extraneous content, the accents in various characters are hard to understand, and the ending relies on too many coincidences. 3/10 score

The 1st movie was basically a poor man's "HEAT" with Al Pacino and Deniro practically scene for scene if you compare the 2

As an update - the RT score is currently 67% after 24 reviews, which isn't too bad. However, I'm curious about how there aren't more reviews. This is really the first blockbuster of the year, and there isn't much competition
