While it has some pacing issues in the second act, this movie delivers on its promise of high-octane entertainment. The action sequences are choreographed with precision, and the practical effects bring a gritty realism that CGI often lacks. It’s a fun ride from start to finish, even if the plot is a bit predictable.

What saves it from mediocrity is the chemistry between the cast. Their banter feels natural and provides some much-needed levity amidst the chaos. It might not win any Oscars for screenwriting, but it’s the perfect popcorn flick for a Friday night.
