Sink this movie into a bottomless pit out ineptitude. Did you come here for Cavill or Cena? You're out of luck because they're in it less than 10 minutes. Instead you get a hefty Howard and.........Rockwell? Yeah that Rockwell. He can play a villain or comedic character just fine and to some degree a dramatic one but an action hero?? No and neither can Howard ( Chastain would have been great ). They just can't sell it so the movie fails completely. Add the horrible music for the action scenes and speaking of.......the smoke and ice skating scenes have to be two of if not worst action scenes in movie history. Sheer insanity, silliness and ridiculousness wouldn't even begin to describe how cringe inducing and terrible to witness they were to behold. I'd seriously question the lucidity of anyone that enjoyed them. The movie gets one extra star for the good twist halfway through but it also makes things more unbelievable. If you blink you'd miss Boutella and that ugly looking cat didn't help. A tremendous misfire of a movie ( and well deserved flop ) from the director that gave us excellent action fare such as the first Kick-Ass and the first two Kingsman movies was beguilingly disappointing. Shame.
