The plot (if you actually consider it such) has holes big enough to sail an oil tanker through. A top notch hitman goes off course and is not in the slightest interested how his boss can call him on a payphone next to him?

The action sequences are numerous, but absolutely unrealistic. Bad guys with machine guns can't hit stationary targets, but the good guy is able to use a shotgun like a sniper rifle?

I have seen better character development in B class porn flicks. How they got Eckart and Roth to participate in such drivel is beyond me.

If i could give this movie a minus score i would gladly do so.

I love Tim Roth and Aaron Eckhart USED to be a reliable choice for an entertaining film. Every actor, no matter how successfull, manages to be in bad films. Usually they still manage to be decent even if everything around them is terrible.

Unfortunately, when you have a bad script, there's not much you can do. It's even worse when you're saddled with a really bad and unconvincing performance from a main actor. That's what you get here. I really hate bashing anyone for their acting skills, but the actor playing his "daughter" was absolutely terrible! It was a cringe-worthy effort on her part. I had mental images of Eckhart thinking to himself "WTF" everytime she was on screen.

Roth looked like he signed on for an easy three-day assignment and a paycheck... he was barely there. He tried with what they gave him, but there was really nothing to work with.

It was terrible, absolutely no redeeming qualities... even if you're a massive Roth or Eckhart fan.

The worst screen writing and acting I've seen in at least the past 20 years. Not worth the time to press the play button. Just terrible terrible, terrible, terrible! And it's ridiculous that it requires me to write a minimum of 600 words for this review to even be accepted - but if you must... I love Actor Eckart but even he must have been embarrassed by day 3 of production on the horrible writing and lack of quality plot! The fighting was totally unrealistic, but the plot was even worse - disconnected, confusing and illogical. The movie seemed to be in slow motion and overdramatizing every single screen.

In short, f-grade acting, f-grade dialog and the whole thing looks like it was filmed on a Samsung S9+ and then color graded with a potato. Seriously, a random, free LUT from the Internet slapped on everything.

Drone spots seem to be done with a DJI Air, main lighting dive with a subtle Aputure without bounce or softbox.

Also, the entire island of Malta seems to be devoid of other people or bystanders. Rooms are also very very foggy. Shootout scenes take place within a 10m radius and were filmed with compression ratio 200:1, with weird purple smoke explosions.

Elementary school students would have done a better job with their iPhones and some flower on a rainy afternoon on a Sunday.

Can't believe they dragged Aaron Eckhart into this.

After 20 minutes, this film nosedives into the ground and slowly implodes, leaving another 80 minutes of predictable dross.

It starts out as a stylish thriller, but the script, and the 'by the numbers plot' let it down, as does the terrible, terrible casting. Tim Roth hasn't done a decent film in almost a decade and is pretty embarrassing in this. The less said about Abigail Breslin, the better. She is a disaster.

This is probably the only film you'll see which has a sniper sequence where the sniper 'hides' in a pool of light. The chief bad guy is pretty funny with his massive GPS screen somehow tracking Eckhart's every move until the plot requires "he must be somewhere that hasn't got a good GPS signal".

The action scenes are boring; John Wick lite.

I have to give him some credit though. Roel Reine did a good job with the cinematography and the soundtrack.
