A movie where everyone knows it's a generic bust


I can see exactly what they were going for - a fun action movie like The Lost City or Romancing the Stone where two strangers are thrown together in a jungle to get out alive and hijinks ensue. The issue was the script and casting - Cena looked like he was wondering why he was there. Brie looked good but she was given nothing to work with and didn't have the charm of a Bullock or the lines capable of boosting her presence. The action was okay but nothing new, the twists were bland, and it just felt drawn out. I was constantly pausing to see how much time was left.

A random stranger's opinion - if it shows up for free it might be worth a desperate watch but it's nothing you haven't seen done better a hundred times before.

Well , its "free" on Amazon at the moment , and I'm really scraping the dregs out of that barrel right now , so might be worth a go

I've been looking at the promos for it on Amazon, and even in the trailers (which are supposed to big it up) it looks bland and Cena looks like he's not interested in the slightest.
