The reason this rating is so high is because Pedro Pascal (Max Lord) does a great job with such a weird bad guy. I found myself rooting for him. He steals the show.
But...
The script, plot, and the rest of the cast was underwhelming. The action sequences underwhelming. The climax underwhelming. The "bad" guys were not threatening and get "redeemed" real quick. Also this story being set in 1984 did nothing for the message or overall tone. The tone changed a lot; I felt like the film couldn't decide what it was: action flick, family friendly, 80s satire, etc.
