It's an action movie. That's all it is. It's thick with clichés, silly dialogue, plot holes, bland characters, and a watery feel - in fact, one could argue that that aspect pulls the viewer out of the experience. But at the same time, it's full of lowest-common- denominator emotions, great cinematography, fast and fun gunfights, and it has a huge overall entertainment value. If you're looking for a smart movie, this is not it. But if you're looking for an expensive, flashy, studio-quality cinematic FPS, this is absolutely it. It'll make you pause and yell 'Are you serious? That's asinine', but you'll still laugh when someone gets hit with a car. I think it sums up 2014 pretty well, actually.

Honestly, I'm surprised. I saw the name of this and decided to watch it, for no real reason, and after watching I checked out the IMDb page (as I usually do.) Seeing that this movie is 5.4/10 inspired me to create an account, finally.

This is a carefully-shot and thickly-written story which, despite some clear clichés, gets across what it wants to get across succinctly. Sometimes, the pace and storytelling gets blocky and unorthodox, but it's still altogether solid. The use of color, the acting, the dialogue, it's all enjoyable and not at all a bad mixture. I was expecting at least a 7/10. Odd.
