This movie is a fun action romp, that nicely wraps up in the end the questions it raises along the way (with a few minor exceptions). It’s charmingly garish and seems to be having fun making standard action tropes look good. The three veteran action leads are effortlessly charismatic and play the whole film with a smirk and a wink.
Closest comparison: It’s like Mission: Impossible by way of Hobbs and Shaw.
Setting: Action
Plot: Espionage
Tone: Adventure
Don't let the rating fool you, this movie is lots of fun. It's a much-needed return to 90's thrill ride action movies and blends Die Hard with a disaster movie to the expected result. That said, it has its flaws, of course. The kids do a mediocre acting job at best, and there are plenty of confusing motivations and convoluted plans staring simpler ones in the face. But you could do a whole lot worse, and the CGI around the prosthetic leg combined with Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson's portrayal of the character with an injury is some of the best I've ever seen. Great action setp-pieces and pasted-on everything else make for a fun time at the movies.
