I hate Jai Courtney but he was one of the least terrible parts of this movie.

I was also not prepared for just how bad this would be. About the sixth time it switched over to playing a new classic rock song for a ne wintroduction I was ready to shut this off
He just has no knowledge of pacing and tone I guess. End of Watch was almost incredible up until the very last scenes. This went from me wanting to turn it off to a mess of bizarre plot points to a bit of a good movie then back into nonsensical garbage again. I'd rate this movie lower than Rob Zombie's 31. At least that didn't try to prop on the facade of having some deep seeded meaning. Rob Zombie actually could have handled this way better using almost the same formula as 31, at least he would have had some studio execs reigning in his psycho circus bullshit to the point where that tone would have made this movie make more sense.
I am in the same boat, I never thought that this could be as bad as it was. The first 30 - 40 minutes felt like they were trying to recreate the title crawl from Watchmen but they somehow fucked it up so gloriously that they've managed to make Zack Snyder look like a competent director. The plot is filled with such ridiculous circular logic that I can't even try to pick apart the individual pieces without seeing more issues which sucks because Ayer usually has that same, vignette, style but he's able to tie them into the big picture before he is completely unable to close the deal and wrap up his story properly.

Pretty hard to top that role for him but yeah. I still like him, though. He was the shit on that show.

This type of movie is what happens when you get a group of guys together who have too much money, inflated egos and the desire to make even more money by pumping their movies with fan service.

Im not the biggest fan of that show but I didnt care fore him until his death which I think is more from the story which was pretty basic.

There's a well-publicized set of actors (Courtney, Dermot Mulroney, etc.) that keep getting work despite virtually no one enjoying their finished product.
They are apparently all charismatic as hell... in person (which is why casting directors keep giving them work), with none of that translating to the multiple takes required in a film (which is why everyone hates their work).
Basically, film an improv comedian doing the same bit 20 times with no variation. Nearly all of them will be terrible. (There have been some exceptions - Eddie Murphy, Jim Carrey, Robin Williams - but even how hated most of their later work has been tells you how hard spontaneous charisma translates to the screen.)
Edit: This isn't a good movie, but the internet seriously doesn't think it is worse than BvS, does it?

Lol, I should have edited my post. He wasn't the shit but he was ok. Now Whitfield and Bennett? They were the shit.
