Far from a cinema classic this was a fairly big surprise to see, I wasn't expecting such a fun ride with a cast who depict their characters perfectly all of which are quite well crafted. Like I said it's nothing much more than a popcorn flick that's mindless but once in a while those types of film are worth a watch some of which are better than others. Good character, fun story and surprisingly funny I recommend a viewing

This is a fun movie. It is entertainment. Don't go watching expecting some academy award winning action movie. This is a fun movie to watch with friends and just yourself. If you love Ryan Reynolds humor, this is a lot of fun!

This looked really good from the trailer and it had an edge of sarcasm that made it reminiscent of Deadpool, so I expected that quality of writing. Nope. Not at all. While it does have good dialogue and Jackson and Reynolds are never less than watchable, this is really just a mainstream buddy-buddy chase movie with more swearing.It feels forced throughout, trying too hard to be edgy and in-your-face, while it keeps one foot firmly in the '15-30 year old male who likes fast chase sequences' camp. Additionally, and probably for the same reason, it has an odd nasty sexist streak running through it, with Hayek demeaning her very notably fat cell mate while she always looks 'hot' as per same 15 year-old boy's idea of 'hot'. Reynolds' love interest has as much charisma, with or without him, as a face cloth and she is constantly handled by her male superior. That's maybe meant to be in there to flag up what a creep he is, but it's done in such a casual way, while bursting Hayek's breasts out on every occasion, that it just looks like a normal chase movie/thriller.All round a very disappointing movie. Watchable, but by no means a good use of the two stars.

Two actors & their comedy made this movie actually good. The writing was very predictable & the editing was very choppy making the story hard to understand what city they are in or the history of the characters, hard to follow at times. Very little time was spent on character development more time spent on boring action scenes, but when the actors had their moments of talking the movie was hilarious & great. Only Ryan & Samual Jackson were the good actors that made the movie. Together they played each other's rivals & the hilarious jokes between them was the best part of the movie. Every other actor failed to deliver their lines or just were very boring such as The actor who played Ryan's love Interest, they really didn't have any chemistry & their love scenes were sadly laughable, they didn't work well together.
