What do you get when you combine all of the memes and clichés of our shallow, tech-obsessed post-globalisation, hipster world and then have a wise, humble, dapper and old fashioned gent (Robert De Niro) as the ever congenial retiree intern.
What's baffling is De Niro's character. He has a complete lack of anysort of antipathy or disillusionment for finding himself in that situation - being bossed around the office and managed by people who have been on this planet for a quarter of the time he has, and who are genuinely childish, stupid and unprofesional.
In the real world - this sort of business which is completely devoid of any depth or intelligence would be hard to find. Although the bad acting make this bag full of design agency clichés all the more hard to swallow. This film is like a strange alternate universe and it is indeed like watching an atomic blast slowly unfold.
Switched off twenty minutes in when I realised that these people were not behaving this way ironically, they were actually seriously attempting to portray a workplace of today.
Quite possibly the worst movie I've seen in my life.

Gut wrenching and excruciatingly terrible. Like watching a train wreck in slow motion before your eyes, spliced with reactions from people without any acting ability.
The woman who plays with wife Sarah Jane Callies is just excruciating to watch as she oscillates through various situations with the same benign and indifferent expression on her face, regardless if she's being chased by a drone, making her children breakfast or holding a gun to someone's head. She gives a completely new definition to wooden acting.
The pilot has an interesting ongoing narrative however the lack of acting ability of the cast makes one wonder why they should care what happens to the people in the show. Indeed every second of watching is yet another second of your life that you won't get back.

Obama...I mean Denzel swings some seriously massive and intimidating American penis against Russian mafia in this film.
In all seriousness though this film is totally awesome. It features great actor Denzel Washington, who does have an uncanny resemblance to the president. He is the man not to be messed with in this film. The narrative pits an unethical, evil and corrupt Russian underground with a righteous, courageous and overall good American hero (Denzel).
This was a narrative of good versus evil that was very popular in other films during the Cold War Era. Therefore it's hardly surprising, given the recent political events in Russia and the Ukraine that this film is also very much following along that well trodden path.
Although I am making it sound as though it's clichéd it is actually a good film and Denzel is always great to watch on screen. Of all of the shoddy action films out there, I would rate this one highly. Which is surprising as I'm a woman and I normally absolutely hate action movies.
