Critical reaction

Reviewers in this genre very often focus on numbers. The numbers of people killed; The numbers of exposed body parts; The number of explosions;

Seriously I’ve never seen such a dull movie. There isn’t a single scene in the movie that feels at all natural. The entire movie feels staged and awkward, especially the love scenes that are just terrible.
