if you're on your phone jerking around a message board during a movie, it's absolutely not "good so far"

well it didn't get shut off which is the metric I use these days. 2hr movie felt about 90mins id say.
2nd half had some great action sequences. got all the characters built without feeling like you're going through character building, timeline jumping worked toward that end well. Guy Ritchie's specialty?

Enjoyed it. I realised halfway through that it's a remake from the 2004 french movie "Le Convoyeur" (Cash Truck), which was pretty good, but quite different.
The original is a very (very) dark thriller ; more realistic, less action, but more brutal (the ending of the movie has some quite memorable scenes).

Movie was decent. Didn't feel fully Guy Ritchie to me, but wasn't awful. The disjointed choronological stuff I guess is classic Ritchie but felt a little off in this. Definitely solid movie though. Wish Statham was a little more than a "SILENT BADASS TYPE". I get why, but ehhhhhh. Would've preferred sassy Statham more in this.

This movie fucks bigly.
Much darker in tone than his usual movies, basically none of the snark. Kind of a mix between John Wick and uh, Heat I guess?
The revenge plot was fine, but the way more interesting bits were all the flashbacks of the boys taking care of business trying to find the guy.

Kept my attention and enjoyed it. Felt the army boys flashback was a bit longer than needed, but definitely enjoyed it. I can’t say that for all Guy Ritchie productions.

This. I thought the first 75% of the movie was fantastic, even though the plot device is a little cliche at this point. But, when Statham is going fucking ham with that HK G36K and they have no reaction when the bullets are peppering the shit out of them? I had to roll my eyes a bit.
Still, probably one of the better movies to come out since China Virus. Guy Ritchie just makes good fucking movies, man.

Lacks the quick dialogue and banter of a usual Guy Ritchie action movie, but still good to watch. Felt really slow paced most of the time which isn't bad, just different.
I wish the movie had leaned way more into the revenge action genre, it wanted to paint H as a sort of Keyser Soze but it didn't go crazy enough. The middle part where H is with his crew though is fantastic, and the movie needed a lot more of that and a lot less of "guard crew banter"
if you liked this definitely watch The Gentlemen and Den Of Thieves

Just finished it, but still confused.
So H is boss of a crime syndicate, that was asked to spot the truck which led to his son getting killed by the army crew. If H's people were asked to spot the truck, wouldn't they have known the people they were working with?
Unless they were 2 different crews and it was a coincidence that H was there. H's crew was just looking to get intel for later heist?
