One of the key elements of any movie is having a main character you can root for. They don't necessarily have to be a good person, they just have to be compelling. This movie missed the mark on this big time.
The main character is some American soldier who gets kicked out of the military. He is supposed to be compelling but he simply pathetic. Finding himself broke he decides to start committing atrocities for money aka become a mercenary and he absolutely doesn't hesitate to do it until finally halfway through the movie he develops some minor signs of conscience.
Instead of using the amazing charm both Chris Pine and Gillian Jacobs have to give us a fun action movie the bizzare team behind this tried to go for drama that seems to be targeted at the those weird flag waving endlessly talk about the troops Americans and seemingly no one else
It's a poorly made movie not worth your time. The only reason I watched it was because I love Chris Pine and Gillian Jacobs both of whom deserve better then this.
