That was disappointing. And I wasn't expecting much to begin with. I know this is a Bale movie so I knew it was going to be a sequence of action-packed scenes with some underdeveloped dialogue in between and a story line so thin you couldn't even dry your laundry on it. Which would have been fine because that's what I came for, an entertaining lazy watch.
What I didn't expect was badly cut scenes up to a point where they don't make sense any more and you loose track of what is happening. Neither did I expect the bad acting, it's like the actors only read their script the night before shooting a scene and it completely takes away any emotion, any bond you might have with their personage as they remain flat and two-dimensional. Even the typical Ryan Reynolds' humour often seems out of place and he just doesn't seem to have put his heart in it.
This could have been a good action flick, it has the right director and the right lead for it but it turned out a waste of time, money, energy and a basically good action script. Bale, Reynolds and Netflix could, and should, have done better, much much better.
