Robert Rodriguez used to be an amazing director.
What happened?
This movie is quite bad. It could've been great because it does have good components. The theme is actually not that bad. It certainly isn't anything we haven't seen before, countless times. BUT, it had promise.
Anyway.. it still managed to disappoint because it definitely seems to me that it could've been so much better. The characters aren't relatable at all. I don't feel anything for Affleck or the female lead (forgot her name). I think Affleck was the wrong choice here.
The acting in general isn't that great.
Fichtner as the bad guy really works, but the music is weird. It kinda ruins the parts of the movie where there's no real action. It manages to hold the viewers attention for the most part which is okay, but other than that it fails to amaze, which is, of course, dull.
Pretty average imo 4.4/10 90's Rodriguez would've made this into a masterpiece. But we all get old and our imagination gets lost in the process.
