Az utolsó bűntény

A weaker moment for Netflix. The film has a fine idea and quite likable actors (Edgar Ramirez and the gorgeous Anna Brewster are fine), but it suffers from an overlong running time and mediocre action that can't interest anyone who has watched a thing or two. The premise didn't bore me, though, as I like movies like this, so it's not a bad movie to kill an evening. Story**, Action**, Humor>No, Violence*, Entertainment***, Music***, Visual***, Atmosphere***, Suspense**. 4.5/10. (2020.06.05)

A group of criminals attempt to steal a billion dollars before the U.S. implements a system that uses a special signal to stop people from breaking the law. But the criminals are a bunch of uninteresting buffoons, director Olivier Megaton skimps on action, wit and suspense, and it all relies on boring characters and wannabe-cool stylings for two and a half hours. Don't watch it. If the world was fair, this movie would have been made in Romania, starring Michael Dudikoff, and probably nobody would have seen it. (2020.06.13)

(Surely using 5G!) Mr. Bricke, his ex and one sociopathic jerk want to steal one more truck full of money to last them the rest of their lives in free Canada. The idea is fine, but it crashes against the reality. Megaton didn’t handle this well in dramaturgical terms, so the film is two and a half hours long, the action is just average and there are annoying lapses in logic. Ramirez is fine, but he is the only one who is and he can’t save the film on his own. This is an average movie with missed potential; I should have read the comic book by Remender instead. It would have been faster. (2020.06.07)
