Way Down (2021)
Interesting Concept, but Falls Flat with Male Mary-Sue
Pros:
The Idea surrounding why the Vault is difficult to rob was an interesting one. The plot surrounding why they needed to rob the place was also pretty good. Liam Cunnigham was great as the main guy who is in charge of the thieves.
Cons:
The skinny genius engineer college boy was a complete Male Mary-Sue the entire movie. He's "the amazing wonder boy who can do anything the plot requires"! Need someone to crack the vault, he's our boy! Need a college boy wet behind his ears to become a super spy with balls of brass, he's our boy! Need a skinny toothpick of a boy who weighs 120LBS soaking wet to now grab a falling ex-special forces man with only one arm and not fall himself? He's our skinny no-muscle protagonist to do the job!
Our Male Mary-Sue, He's "the bestest evarrrr"!!! And thats why this movie will never be.
