Summary
Because it is still so fresh and novel, sarcasm, an old person has surprising skills and helps prevent a kidnapping.
So when I saw the trailer for this action thriller film starring Alison Janney I was intrigued, I wanted to see how this film would be different from the hundreds of other films in the genre that share the same premise, and the honest answer is that it isn’t.
This film was a slog to get through because the more it went on the more obvious it became just how generic it is. Nothing happens that you don’t already know is going to happen, in that regard it is certainly one of the most predictable action thrillers I have ever seen. This fact is not even made up for by the action, which is pretty bog standard again.
The performances across the board are instantly forgettable and the film does not use its talented cast in anyway to bring out their skill.
Overall, yet another boring Netflix action film.
Pros.
It has mildly appealing premise
It is sometimes quite unintentionally funny
Cons.
It is boring and bland and so is the action
It wastes a fairly talented cast
It is predictable
It has pacing issues
