Pretty good

Not great though. Chris Evans was fantastic. Its action packed but the editing is more frenetic and not as cogent as past big Russo action sequences. The airplane sequence was pretty good but its ruined a bit by the schmutz on the camera lens. It’s entertaining enough though and has a good pace.

I thought the final duel would be better. Is it just me, or does everyone think they're suddenly fighting like two amateurs?

Yeah, it was a bit anticlimactic. On another note when is Ana De Armas gonna get an Alien film vehicle. She kicks as much ass in this as The Gray Man.

No, this was not good at all. One of the worst films of the year.

How come?

It's generic, derivative, bland, and predictable. I didn't find it entertaining, exciting or fun.

I agree its not breaking any new ground. Despite that I found it fun, entertaining and exciting in spots.

I enjoyed it a lot. It's nothing new, but still worth a watch, even for once off.

Agreed.

Right! I think the same thing.

For an action thriller it's really good I'd say and agree about the good pacing it had, kept it to 2 hours as well instead of becoming a bloated mess. I found it very entertaining from start to finish and would watch a sequel if the Russo brothers made one.

If only it had been rated R.
