“Note to self: Check to see who directed, produced and wrote a film before you see it, and if itu0026#39;s Justin Lee, just donu0026#39;t!u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis is the 3rd or 4th Justin Lee mess Iu0026#39;ve seen, and itu0026#39;s slightly better than the previous, mainly for the silly comedic attempts he made in this one, not to mention casting some bad-ass actors, albeit for a few minutes at a time.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWhat Lee improved on from his previous messes, was hiring a good cinematographer that Iu0026#39;m sure did his best with Leeu0026#39;s terrible directing and screenplay. The score was actually bearable in this film. But having Ed Morrone spew out the stupidest dialogue, and act like he was on speed trying to crack jokes, was a huge fail. Either make this a drama/thriller, or a comedy. Had it been a comedy, casting Keegan-Michael Key instead of Monroe wouldu0026#39;ve made this film a hit, because thatu0026#39;s who I thought of when I heard every lame joke that wouldu0026#39;ve been jokes if delivered by Key – plus they have a similar look. The writing was so predictable full of plot and technical issues. The girl kicks his ass more than anyone else, whilst trowing vases and pans back and forth? Really smh? And what personal protection service would send, let alone hire an obnoxious loud annoying moron like Morroneu0026#39;s character?u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eNot sure if Leeu0026#39;s has rich parents that donu0026#39;t mind throwing away money on his flop films, but maybe he should take some of that and go to a professional film school. A generous 3/10 for the cinematography and bloopers in the end”
