Just watch and enjoy. It was just a fun movie that's not a sequel.
I was VERY SURPRISED when I saw the the low reviews and EXTREMELY negative things that was said about this movie. It isn't a Oscar winning time by no means, but it DOES NOT deserve the bad things that have been written here. The cast is really great and it's a fun and an enjoyable hour and a half. Like I said, it's no "barn burner" as far as innovation of movie plots, but it's funny at times and cute to see these actors can be silly and have a fun time. So to the others that are so mean and negative about it, LIGHTEN UP! It's a movie!
I will always pay to see Morgan Freeman in a movie, always. I even paid to see 10 items or less. This movie he did for a friend or something, it's the same feeling you get from seeing Stallone do anything in the last 5 years. I could not finish this. I honestly enjoyed the IMDB Danny Trejo talk 100 times more than "just getting started". Rene Russo still has that something something going on but poor Joe Pantoliano never took off his hat once. We're all losing our hair, embrace it. His history in the Sopranos gives him a lifetime pass in my book. Looking forward to seeing him in 15 rounds. I suspect that's where his hat came from.
I could not believe the shockingly low score for this film with such an all star cast. Once I saw it, I realized it was in fact deserving of the 3.8 IMDb rating, and only so high, from the sympathetic votes for these A-listers when they realized what they had signed up for.So here's what I think happened. Ron Shelton's 5th grade grandson wrote and directed this nonsense but was too young to be named in the credits, so grandpa steps in and enters his name. Next, Waze (the phone GPS app that was product-mentioned) funded this 5th graders film, and paid these A-list actors their wages so people will go see this mess, then leave the theater and download their app. What else can it be? These huge actors did their worst... they hardly made an effort. The entire set was probably the after-party set up for when filming wrapped, just for the A-listers to have incentive to do some type of performance.The directing and editing was, well, that of a 5th grader.What a waste of talent on such a garbage screenplay.A sympathetic 3/10 from me, only for the all star cast that got duped into making this nonsense.
