Where to begin. This movie is bad but not super bad for what it is.

To me it seems like the movie was made by three different people and final cut was done without anybody watching the full movie before releasing it.

There are OKish scenes, interesting scenes and some decent acting, occasionally... but put together is like a child with glue to make GI JoeBarbie with one lego arm.

There is no dramatic build up. The core scene for the whole plot and motivation of the good guy and bad guy comes too late and is presented in most civil drama-less fashion that it seems like there was some other plan and the whole plotline as added as an after thought to some silly cop training clip show.

Good cast - check

I was trying to find something to watch with Jason Bateman and this did not disappoint. Not a big fan of Viola Davis (ever since of The Suicide Squad) as she seems to be playing same character in everything, but in this case I did not mind at all. Matt Damon with his A+ performance is great in these types of characters.

Good story line - check

I like docudramas. Maybe it is just memberberries but it is always fun to get some dramatization of real historical events. Perhaps it is just a silly movie about a shoe, but still. Pleasant to watch.

Good speech - check

I mean, Matt Damon nailed it. And it was brilliant follow up after Ben Affleck's comedic relief and an awkward scene that followed.

Overall good movie. Can recommend.
