This movie depicts a lot of murderous, tragic, events, committed by criminals who appear to be very blood thirsty because they want to be rich. And the movie depicts this in a very comedic sense, a very over the top, in your face, let's laugh about this sense. And I did a little research and some of the families of the victims of the people who were actually murdered by these guys are offended by that. And, honestly, I would be to.
It really just felt like a cliched Michael Bay movie that we get so often. It's two hours, twenty minutes long and a good twenty minutes could have been cut out of this movie. Lots and lots of forced humour, lots and lots of slow motion walking away from explosions with sunglasses on. This movie is trying so hard to be an assault on your senses. Like, certain elements of the movie are trying so hard to be funny but it's hard to really laugh because it's just constant, constant stuff just screamed at you. Like every character in this movie except for Dwayne Johnson is just a giant jerk. You can't really emphasis with these guys but the film at times is trying to make you do that. These guys were serious criminals and they want you to sympathize with them and I can't bring myself to do that when I know these events actually happened.
