Overall this was a relatively entertaining action movie, but it didn't really grab me. It had a fairly simple extraction plot that moves it along without carrying any real emotional investment or weight. The acting was all fine, including Mark Wahlberg. Some people may not like the writing on his hyperactive character, but he portrayed it well. Iko Uwais continues to have gradual improvement on his acting, but he is always excellent in fight scenes. This is where the movies biggest failure comes in. The framing and cuts on the gunfights are okay, but the hand to hand scenes are awful. The director or editor clearly had no idea how to showcase Uwais' ability and it definitely dropped a star off the movie for me. I don't feel like I wasted my time watching this, but I don't see myself coming back for another viewing.
