Within literally the first thirty seconds it became apparent the script had all the trappings of what gets me scrambling for the remote in the first five minutes of any new American series. And don't tell me that I didn't give it a chance, you don't get a second chance at making a good first impression so the beginning should be staggeringly good.
Inexcusably on the nose exposition as well.
Like I said, all in the first five minutes.

Special forces guys don't punch you in the face when they're fighting.
Money from a drug deal isn't handed over in nightclubs.
Hoodlums don't refer to drugs as 'stuff'
These is just three examples of the usual mistakes when making a movie like this that take you completely out of the drama. And this was only 25 mins in.
Why not get an army guy to advise on actual disabling techniques. Surely showing money changing hands in a club, upon reflection, would be obvious in its unrealism. And we don't need to be told that's it's drugs they're doing...we can see.
A bit more time revisiting the story amending these less believable moments would've helped, though in general terms, we've seen this film done a lot better, many times.
