Thoughts
Okay, I wasn’t expecting this to be good. So while I was watching it, I actually found it to be more entertaining than I’d thought it would be. Some of the moments between Ryan and Samuel are really quite funny. BUT. But but but. The plot is ridiculous, zipping about the globe and leaving absolute devastation, plot holes and confusion in its wake.
It’s almost trying so hard that it becomes a spoof… feeling almost like Austin Powers as it drew towards a conclusion, and I really don’t think it was meant to be that kind of comedy. So, if you haven’t seen it yet, I would steer well clear.
